More as promised

Here is some more concept art from the same project, I imagine I'll be doing this until I get a real freelance job through... :P

Concept Painting

Something a little different... before I did commercial work I used to paint in Photoshop, I still dabble with this from time to time and after a rather long hiatus I have produced the following painting for a personal concept project I am working on with a friend called: Orion



This painting was designed to get the colour keys and atmosphere of the environment and inspired by some local art seen in a shopping centre in Wycombe (!?!). more to come....

Third Libretto Cover

My Third Cover for Libretto:

New Libretto Cover

Here is the latest cover for Libretto.
This project was good fun to work on, very quick to complete and good experience for me working with a client on more than one project, in fact they have offered me a third cover!

I have uploaded all the work-in-progress for this project for anyone who is interested how I work and its on the flickr page.

Images 32

About a year ago I got a place in the Association of Illustrators annual book; Images 32 and it just came in the post...



Here is another picture of it:



I will post the new Libretto cover soon, Im just awaiting its publication.

New Balance Competition

I am currently working on another cover for Libretto, which I will blog when finished.. Slightly different tack with much brighter colours...

In the meantime I have been designing some trainer's for a New Balance competition. The 420 is a suede skate/running shoe and the competition/ promotion is to design your own shoe and New Balance will make it for you if they really like it!

I have converted one of my existing illustrations into a shoe (similar to that make-your-artwork-into-a-vinyl-toy-thing) Ill let you work out which one:



and also designed a pair of colour-way's based on cake's....





Which I had a dream about.
