Young Colossus

Before christmas last year I was asked to work on a musical project by Orlando Weeks. He had produced 6 songs that told a story. He wanted the music to be released with a visual narrative and for me to illustrate it. The book Young Colossus is written by Orlando Weeks, produced by Nic Nell, additional vocals by Alessi Laurent-Marke (Alessi's Ark) and released on Fiction records. you can buy it here. www.youngcolossus.com

Picador Drawings

Drawings for two of the Picador 40th anniversary covers.

3d project

At the beginning of this year I worked on a project where my drawings have been translated into 3d objects. These characters where sculpted from my drawings by the very talented Alex Simpson. These characters are just one element of the project, so there is more to come.

New Ghost 2nd Edition

The book i produced for nobrow has gone to its second edition. The print finish is much nicer this time around and the colours truer to the origonal design.

Picador 40th Anniversary

Over the summer I was asked to design some of the covers for Picador's 40th anniversary series. The Brief was that every cover was to be designed only in solid black and white. Certain areas of the cover are printed in black ink and other areas are a glossy black foil. The process of the foil slightly de-bossing the paper and creating reflective area's creates shifts in tone and texture on the finished book.
Personally I was hoping for a classic typeface to run throughout the series to tie it all together, but this wasn't the case and I feel that some suffer from this like the cover for "Dirt Music".

Young Colossus plans

Before Christmas I worked on a book that is soon to be released, here are some of the plans and sketches I did along the way to make the book.

Young Colossus on press

Over the past couple of months I have been producing a book/cd packaging for a project with a singer. The project is called "YOung Colossus" and will be released in the new year. more to come.

ASOS T-shirt

I designed a T-shirt for ASOS in collaboration with its nice that. here is what Its nice that say about the project:

Music and graphic design/illustration have a long and illustrious history together, and our latest collaboration with ASOS, unveiled today, is a celebration of that relationship. We chose five super-talented designers who also make their own music and commissioned them to create an exclusive limited-edition T-shirt, which will be sold with one of their records, bearing the same design. And what a list it is…

We were thrilled to get Jim Stoten, Robert Hunter, Supermundane (aka Rob Lowe), Tim Moore and Chris Pell on board for this project and are absolutely delighted with the work they have produced.
