Mailmeart

Here's my entry for Mailmeart's call for submissions. Get your own packages into them by 30 January - there's still time. My entry is just a quick doodle but it was fun doing something that didn't involve bezier curves. My son Ewan added a little something of his own work on the back.

I've decide to give the site a little facelift. I hope you like its more open and fresh look.

Design portfolio

My design portfolio has finally launched. It will work as a sister site to this one and will contain a good healthy chunk of all of my design work from the last 13 years. There's quite a lot of stuff in there at the moment but I'm working on even more. Head over to the design galleries to see more. I have also started a new design blog which will run in tandem to this one, so bookmark both blogs to get the full picture.

Rants

In my old blog I used to put all of my thoughts in amongst the illustration posts. If you feel the need to see more of this kind of random rantage then go and visit my other blog...

Image manipulation

Here's a job where I had to come up with an image for a feature about poker variance. Each element in this image was shot separately. This wasn't on purpose they just happened to be stock shots that I had in my library that fitted the bill. I think I've managed to piece them together fairly seamlessly. The bullet holes are an added element in Photoshop.

Red Nose update 3

Hoorah. Just to let you know it sold for GBP68 - considering how late in the day I created it, that's not a bad haul for charity. Thanks to all who took part. I'm considering doing more signed celebrity prints, if you've got any requests let me know.

Lenny Henry Red Nose Day illustration

I've produced an illustration of one of the main Red Nose Day presenters, Lenny Henry. I've printed this out as an A2 poster. I'll be listing it on ebay next week but I wanted to let people know about it beforehand. I'll post a link to the auction once it goes live. At the moment it is in the hands of his agent so that I can get it signed by the good man himself. I'll also be listing an auction in which I'll be offering custom illustrations in the same style to whoever wants one. So if you've got a photo of a favourite loved one, fluffy pet, or jar of pickles that you want translated into the medium of large dots on photo-quality paper, get bidding! After all, it's all for charity.

My designs

I've started to populate my Flickr account with some design work from the last decade. Its mainly from my work on Future magazines. I have added descriptions to all of them just yet - that takes an age. Anyway, feel free to have a nose through them all. There's quite a few layouts that feature some images from top class illustrators - Insect, Twelveten, Richard May, Identikal to name but a few.

Sneezy

I just love getting a cold at Christmas! Sniff. Merry Boxing Day to you all. I've been a bit quiet lately due to a last minute trip to Las Vegas to photograph some poker stars for future covers of WPT Poker magazine. More about that when I get better...

News image

This is just a quick image I mashed together for one of the mags main news items. It was to support a piece about potential poker business acquisitions due to the recent turmoil caused by US legislation.
