New Poster - You and Me

I've done a new poster! All you Big Bad Voodoo Daddy fans will like this one. I decided to keep this one more simple than the others. Also, I couldn't decide on colours so there's two variants of this poster.

Don't forget to check out my other posters on the 'Work' page. They are all for sale for £10 each. I'll also create a bespoke, one of a kind poster for you based on your favourite lyrics and quotes for £20. Message me for more details.

They'll be a dedicated poster page on my website soon so they're not thrown in with the rest of my work.

Garth Davis - Ride

One of my favourite things in the world is when amazing directors, amazing ideas and skateboarding collide. Here's an example of one of those collisions and there's not a Spike Jonze in sight.

James Hance - Wookiee the Chew

I love a bit of comedic cross genre art and James Hance's work really hits the spot! I was shown his website last night and I chuckled my way through his work. A lot of it is a spin on Star Wars but there's loads of other stuff in there too. Prince Adam from He-Man on the cover of Michael Jackson Thriller album is one that springs to mind. The thing that really stood out the most for me was Wookiee the Chew. A book he's created by mixing Star Wars and Winnie the Pooh. Genius. The drawings are in the style of the original A.A. Milne books but instead of Pooh Bear, it's a little cute looking Wookie. All the characters have been altered to fit the Star Wars theme. Christopher Robin is Han Solo, Piglet is R2-D2 and Kanga and Roo are both Tauntauns. It's funny, really funny but is also so well executed. Seriously, go check it out.

GigPosters.com

I know I'm probably behind the times on this one but I stumbled across this website whilst doing research for the poster I'm doing for Bestival. I've always been a fan of gig posters. It all started with a book I bought from The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles called 'Fucked Up and Photocopied' which was all about punk poster art in the early 80's and was jam packed with amazing examples of experimental and DIY art. Gig posters today have a cleaner feel to them than the cut and paste methods of the early 80's but they've never lost touch with their roots which I think is down to the screen printing methods used. I've always felt that gig posters are the perfect blend of illustration and design with the addition of highly creative typography.

Canucks are out

I've just watched the highlights of last night's Canucks game against LA. I was really hoping that the Canucks would do an unbelievable comeback and get their asses into the second round, but no joy. It was a close game that got me shouting at my computer screen in the office. I think I may of had a minor heart attack from the tension. My heart goes out to Vancouver, the city take a loss hard and the mood of the city completely bottoms out. People walk with their heads low whilst others vacantly stare out of the Skytrain window as if a piece of them have died. Sorry Vancouver, keep your head up, there's always next year.

Bestival Poster Competition

Every year Bestival host a poster designing competition. The closing date this year is June 1st. The winning posters are screen printed (so restrictions in the design apply) and are sold at Bestival. I might try and design one for this year.

FedEx Logo - My Favourite Logo

The reason the FedEx logo is on here is because it's my favourite logo. The reason I love it so much is because once you've figured out it's "little secret" you will look at the logo in a completely different way. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I'll give you a hint...take a closer look at the white space between the letters.
