retro flying car

A sketch of a retro car flying around London.
This image is a test for the kind of style that I might
like to use for my project, a painted illustration,
I like the fact that the car stands out from the
background, being the only current colour on the page.
The picture might look too busy if the background is
also painted with acrylic, so maybe it would be better
washed with faint water colour or to be developed more
with pencil and maybe pen sketching.

E4 promo

Hand drawn animation that promotes e4's Monday night movies

this animations plays on the theme of guilty pleasures and uses

the idea of 'while the cat's away, the mice will play'.

(music by Adam Haynes)

This animation has had a few version through development

looking at different music styles to match the content from

quirky piano to rather silly up beat keyboard rhythms, maybe

the music needs to be more commercial to appeal to the target

audience, but I quite like a few wrong notes here 'n' there.

The animation has also looked at the use of colour to link it to

the e4 brand, which uses purple as its signature, so this next

video is a 5 second sting that shows what the colour change

might look like.

back to basics web page

This web page layout (above) is designed to look like a
scribble done in a sketch book (and it pretty much is)
but is able to function quite neatly as an interactive object.
The sketch takes advantage of the on-line medium by
allowing it to become animated, mixing the traditional
with the new.




This was the first first version of my web page but it
was over complicating the design which featured an
animated robot that presented the links. The layout
had little structure and the page was quite dark.




This was an early page I designed for a business
project that created package designs. I liked the
simple appearance it had and it inspired the 'box of
bits' layout (at the top).

This guy knows how to play.
A quick sketch and a quick splash of
colour thanks to photoshop, with the
texture left over from the scan it gives
quite a nice end result that represents
a loud performance. Grand.

SLR illustration

Painting of a camera to represent my interest in
taking the odd snap here 'n' there.
An image to use as part of my self promotion project
entitled 'tools of the trade'.
