AAAAAARGH YOU A PIRATE?

The Feed commissioned me to spend a week drawing members of the public as pirates. I originally drew the background image and then throughout the week, the image was filled with pirate characters, based on tweeted suggestions. See it large and in context here.

AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT

This Orange: The Feed post was a sort of digital lucky dip. People would click at random on various buttons to see if they could win prizes. I decided to take the illustrations on a sort Victorian Circus route.

A LOT ON MY PLATE

In answer to the fuss about the royal wedding (which I surprisingly loved watching for the most part), Orange: The Feed asked me to create a bunch of plate designs to commemorate the not-so-special moments of the general public. In two weeks I created 33 designs (whilst juggling other work too) and I have attached the majority of them below, along with an animation that was created using my illustrations in an effort to explain the whole event.

AS GOOD AS NEW

Awesome. I won The Junior Design Award Category for Most Promising New Talent. That's gonna look good on the CV! I'm so stoked to have won an award for my kids book Foxly's Feast. Hopefully people keep liking what I'm doing. Below is the proof of the pudding, so they say:

AT YOUR LEISURE

Leisure Society asked me to create an image for the front of a Rough Trade CD that came free with copies of their new album, Into The Murky Water (which is awesome by the way). It came through the post yesterday.

CHICKEN FEED

The wonderful people at Poke | London have made me the regular illustrator for Orange's The Feed. For the foreseeable future, each week I will create an image for that week's post. This is the first post I created for them, called Predict-A-Chick, in which the general public were asked to guess facts about 17 soon-to-be chicks. There was a live video of each of the 17 eggs hatching (which was absolutely AMAZING to watch!). Below is my design for the post. Click here to visit the online page.

DIRTY WORDS

This was another piece for my BBC History column. This one was all about historical attitudes to cleanliness. Bathing was seen as dangerous because it could allow germs to enter the body. Instead, to indicate someone had good hygiene, they would merely ensure that their collars and cuffs were bright white. Dirty bastards!

SHOW OF HANDS

I recently designed this logo for the 'All Sing! Harrow Road Community Choir' as a favour to a friend. Here are four different colour versions.

SELLING ONESHELF

This image was commissioned for the New York Times to accompany an article about many authors who also work as booksellers.

BOXER BLOG

I created a bunch of images for Boxer Creative to promote their process to potential clients. Below are some of my favourite pieces I did for them. Enjoy
