'More Light'

This illustration is the second in the 'Famous Last Words' series. 'More Light' Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. You would have to be incredibly cool to pull of a name like Wolfgang. From my research I found out that in German it translates as wolf path, a bit of useless trivia, although I did design the chair legs to look like wolf paws to included a nice detail just for me. There is a purpose to the depiction of a chair, book and sunflower but I've waffled on enough, you can interpret the rest.

Famous Last Words

This illustration is the first in a series of work based on famous last words. The above image was in response to the last words of Jean Cocteau, the French poet, who said 'Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking towards me without hurrying.'

Leaves Are Like Traffic Lights

This book jacket was produced for Andrew Peters's new children's poetry collection entitled 'Leaves Are Like Traffic Lights'. The book, which will be on sale from 1st May, coincides with the release of 'Ravenwood' by the same author. Produced through linocut and illustrator, I wanted to give the design an eye-catching vintage aesthetic.

Pears Soap Packaging

This university brief was to produce packaging for Pears Soap, to be distributed at Glastonbury 2011. My concept was to create a wrapping for the soap that also functions as a poster. I didn't want to create packaging that people would throw away without recycling and one way to tackle that was to produce something with a longer life than the festivals duration. I also produced two stickers to seal the wrapping.

Heinz Beans

A university advertising brief aimed at promoting Heinz Beans to children. I wanted to make this image as fun and energetic as I could, whilst appealing to both boys and girls. I'm pleased with how this one came out, first attempt at an advertising illustration.

A new year, a new start, a new post... plus a month

Based on Roald Dahl's children's poem this double page spread was intended to extend the implied narrative in The Crocodile. I became interested in the description of man made ingredients, such as mustard and caramel, and from this developed the idea of a crocodile shopping/hunting for children in a supermarket. This project was my illustrative revenge on all the inescapable screaming children I encounter when on my weekly shop.
