These are two of my favourite images from my submission for the CTRL,ALT,SHIFT creative brief, part of YCN's 08/09 awards. each poster has a pretty unique feel to it, but theyre tied together through the strong graphic colour and composition. im pretty happy with them, theyre simple but theyre good i think they fit the what CTRL,ALT,SHIFT. will be looking for.

there are a total of ten posters, each with its own unique number and supporting information. each poster relates in some fashion to the three themes of : AIDS/HIV, womens equallity and rights, and children effected by war (particulalrly child soldiers). some of the images dont attually contain images directly relating to that at all but are designed to be eye catching and draw someone in to looking a little deeper into their meaning and information. most though, stick to the message.

BEHANCE

FLICKR

Illustrated

Finished this sketch today, i drew the women based upon a photo in the Royal Geographic Society Illustrated. i also finally got a copy of Tarsem Singh's 'The Fall' which ive wanted to see for a while now, just flicking through it, its easily one of the most visually dramatic films around. fantastic.

This Guy.

I also drew this guy.

Hardware.

Just some quick work i drew up at the end of last week, robotic heads, theyre kind of reminisent of Chris Cunningham, really i just wanted to do some unusual detail and composition. for me it's all about the repeated lines that make up all the wires.

Volume.

New, is this finished yet? i dont know, its basicly finished im just not sure about the colours really, for some reason blogger changed all the colours on it as well, but thats sorted now, i linked it to my Flickr account just to be useful as well.

theres a fair ammount of other work up on Flickr as well, all of the content featured on this blog, plus a smattering of old photos artwork and a few sketches that have yet to serve a true purpose yet, or are work in progress peices, anything i put up here will go on there as well so hopefully they should work well together.

theres a whole heep of newly drawn art to upload towards the end of the week to.

New Poster finished, what do you think? im hoping the white cloudy shapes at the top will give it a nice finish when its printed. More Soon.

Work in Progress

Heres the pen work of a new piece ive been working on, just the ink work so far. its based on 'The Deep One' a character from a short story by Neil Gaiman in the book 'Smoke and Mirrors', the story's called 'Only the End of the World Again' which in turn is based in H.P Lovecrafts mythology (just in case you were wondering). I had two diffrent outcomes in mind when i outlined this image, the final pen work sits somewhere between both my initial ideas.

I work primarily in ink, i do a fair bit of all digital work to as it often is easier to implement but my main love in hand drawn line work and ink illustration. my big challenge at the moment is combining to two, ive got a couple of other ideas in the works at the moment. a couple of patterns, some prints that need printing, and a seriealised web comic, all in the works.

Im returning to huddersfield this week as ive been home with my parents over christmas. ive got all sorts to sort out. then London!
