For Arts Sake - Valentines A-boards.

Here are the Valentines A-boards, one for the ladies, one for the gents. I went for a 1950's approach as this has been a solid trend for the past year, but I thought I'd link it to the upcoming Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate later this month, which naturally developed into a more Pop Art look. I think it works as a good link, style wise and gallery wise. Pretty happy with the hand drawn illustrations, done digitally but with a mouse rather than a tablet (didn't have one at the gallery). Wish I took more photos of the products and jazzed up the background a bit more, a solid effort but with more potential.

Astroskull 3.

Got round to continuing another Astroskull. The skull is different from the original strips, I want to play around with the look more, I like the idea that the appearance of the skull constantly changes within the confides of it's suit. Is it an actual skeleton? Is it a ghost? Illusion? We'll see.

Beaninabox Productions ident.

Here it is!

I've been working on this for the past few months for film production company Beaninabox Productions (Gawan give them a 'Like' on their facebook page!). It was quite a challenge as it was all hand drawn digitally but also combining that with full time working hours over the Christmas period! Phew. Very pleased with the outcome.

Just a few screenshots I took during the process:

Testing out a prototype for the cat movement.

Hand drawing each individual hair for the cat.

Same again, was very pleased with the turn out of the hairs as did emphasize the movement of the cat.

Cargo collective site.

I have my Cargo collective site up and running, a now more substantial place to have my online portfolio (thanks to Louis for the cargo invite). Have a peak here
