Pictionary








Earlier this year I was asked to contribute to the Pictionary 2014 ‘Quick Draw Wins’ print ad campaign created by Ogilvy & Mather, Malaysia. This print series playfully dismisses the idea that Pictionary can only be played by people with drawing skills. In each image, the chosen theme is represented in two ways, an overly detailed and complicated composition and a rough, 
simple sketched version.

The chosen theme for my piece is ‘Sink’ shown as a highly detailed boat sinking in an underwater scene, as well as a simple line drawing of a physical sink. The naively sketched sink being the more legible of the two images, therefore reinforcing the fact that simple is key when playing
 Pictionary, the ‘Quick Draw Wins’.

The piece was drawn at A2 size with blue ink to enhance the hand drawn feeling.
 Creative Director - Gavin Simpson. Shortlisted at Cannes 2014.

Process vid


I learned just after starting to colour this piece that I can screen record the process!
So excuse the fact that this starts in the middle of colouring, but as you'll see I'd only added the
 flat base colours when I started, so it gives and idea of the level of messing around I do
 when deciding how to colour a piece.

I'll be doing another one of these for the next full piece and starting from the beginning, 
but for now hope you enjoy this half coloured piece. 
Full fox piece coming soon.

VANT








I recently finished a large branding project for East London based band, Vant.
Created the logo, process .gif above, and a full set of icons coming soon on various things!

For now you can give them a follow on facebook and instagram

First Direct Arena


Illustrations for the First Direct Arena in Leeds.


These are displayed on walls throughout the arena as part of a large branding project I worked on to
spruce up the arena decor and make it more suited to the First Direct sponsorship.

It includes die cut wall vinyls, two large scale horizontal illustrated murals and a full set of
illustrated panels used within the actual arena area.


Some of these pieces haven't been placed in the arena yet, so I'll add them when they do.

 

 


Inside the arena are the large scale silhouette illustrations covering the full length of the seating area.

When the lights are out at events and concerts, the silhouettes blend into the setting and become whimsical characters amongst the crowd.












Vulpine



More progress on these two!
