RECENT ILLUSTRATIONS (END 2011)

 

 

 

SPORT

 Digital illustration of Chelsea captain John Terry slipping in the rain and missing a decisive penalty in the Champions League Final loss to Man Utd in Moscow.

These are just a few of the daily 10-minute illustrations I created for the ‘Player of the Day’ theme during the 2010 World Cup.

   (This one is available as a free, downloadable desktop – click to enlarge, then right-click to save)

This was a 10-minute illustration of Mike Tyson

This was another digital illustration done right before the 2011 Superbowl kicked off:

 

 

MOVIES

This poster was a personal project which I designed for a contest online.

I can’t win as prizes only for US residents, but it made for an interesting project.

The next 3 images were all entered into a contest run by Crazy4Cult, with the winner being displayed in poster form in an LA art gallery – of which the third image made it into the final 10, which went to an online vote.  You can see the other entries here – http://g1988.blogspot.com/2008/08/test-contest.html

 An illustrated poster for the cult horror film ‘Candyman’.

 2 legends doing battle in ‘Way of the Dragon’.

The director Kevin Smith (Dogma, Clerks) was one of the judges who voted on this design, which incorporates 2 cult films – and this design became the inspiration for my own corporate identity.

 

 

TELEVISION

I am currently working on a series of large televison related illustrations, for a collection to be entitled ‘Cult Viewing’ – these are a few of the sections from The Wire which Ive been working on…

 

 

MUSIC

The next two are both musical illustrations – the first one was used on tour posters for a band called ‘Sunrise not Secular’, while the second is a general design that I hope to use on something in the future.

Illustration incorporating each band member playing for the Scottish tour posters.

 A musical montage design.

 

 

FASHION

I also enjoy combining photography and illustration to create strong visual images, as depicted below.

 A photoillustration advert draft that was part of a brief for The Harris Tweed Authority.
