Portfolio samples

Part of a series of greeting cards entitled Centre Stage which I produced in conjunction with The Art Group. These were based on well known music icons, and were designed to have a hand made/craft quality to them.

I was asked to expand the range to encompass other fields other than music. this took the range to 12 designs.

As with all images posted here, please click the image for a larger view.

I was asked by Left Lion to produce an editorial illustration to accompany an interview with Micheal Eavis, the founder & organiser of Glastonbury Festival. The deadline for this was incredibly tight but I really enjoyed the back and forth with the editorial department & deciding which way it should go. The final piece is nothing like what was originally planned but the team & myself were a lot happier with the way this turned out.
Learning Together Part of another series of greeting cards based on children's books of the 70's. 
I should add that these were produced before the recent revival of the Ladybird adult books.

This is my portrait of Sir Paul Smith which I was lucky enough to get to the man him self. Really pleased he liked it.
Withnail & I is (in my opinion) one of the best films ever made so I was thrilled when I was asked to produce some artwork to accompany the 30th Anniversary of this phenomenal piece of work, this was to be topped off by being able to present my work the the writer Bruce Robinson & Richard E Grant at the Electric Cinema in Birmingham.
