Two versions of a simple vector illustration of three women. The full colour and outline illustrations were designed as options for a client to use as part of a series in a cancer charity mailing although they never got used.

I decided to illustrate a version of the classic game ‘Guess Who’ based on one of my all time favourite films The Big Lebowski. The characters are all flat vector illustrations and I used the 3D tool in Adobe Illustrator to create the board. Click on the full story link at the top to see all the characters.

Aesthetics through ignorance. This is more of a visual experiment than an actual illustration. I asked my friends and colleagues (this is an ongoing project) to draw a map of the world from memory. I scanned them all in, changed the colour of the outlines and overlayed them all on top of each other. The maps ended up being so different from each other result is this tangly mess of boarders that I thought was strangely beautiful.

The second Shaun the Sheep sculpture for the Bristol leg of the Shaun in the City trail. The Bristol Express is part sheep part viaduct supporting the Bristol Express train winding it’s way through the Bristish countryside. He is outside Temple Meads station until the end of August if you want to go and see him.

UPDATE: The Bristol Express was sold at the Shaun in the City auction in October and raised £9500 for the children’s hospital. Unfortunately I don’t know who has bought him, if anyone knows where he’s ended up please get in touch.

Bristol now holds the world record!

The Bristol trail has finally begun. Here is the first of two designs I completed for this leg of the trail, Great West Shaun. All steam, no punk. This design is based on a traditional steam train and is painted in the old Great Western Railway’s colour scheme of green, black and gold. He’s out there now in Temple Quay. Visit the Shaun in the City website for maps or download the app to get his exact location. shauninthecity.org.uk

My second design for Bristol, The Bristol Express is located nearby outside Temple Meads station.

Another series of simplified character illustrations, breaking down recognisable characters to a hanful of coloured strips. Like the Star Wars characters I did previously these comic book heroes and villains remain surprisingly identifiable, although there are a few obscure characters in there.
