legends of folk

Just a one day project here:



A random album cover art project, basically I started
drawing a dragon and thought I could use it for
something. I quite like the end result of the illustration
but the type and background could do with reworking.

sonic 20

From a SEGA brief to create
a piece of communication
to celebrate 20 years of Sonic.


A simple layout poster that shows the
main character looking ready for the
next 20 years of adventures.
A combination of water colour and
vector drawing/ type.




A couple of thumb nail sketches to get me
started with the poster.

chimney pot fun

Some random stencil shapes and print making techniques.



Some silhouette shapes that roughly resemble
industrial chimneys (or some rather tall alien
figures?) by sunset.



3 towers at night fall with a blue smoky sky.



Add a few more tower things and add some bubbles
and this suddenly looks like lots of champagne bottles
being opened?

sound blast



A pen and ink drawing of an old tape deck with
acrylic background and some type on top, trying to
create a music vibe.

For Your Eyes Only

I Decided to try a little project that was linked to
classic cars, interesting locations, and a bit of
adventure, so the obvious thing was something
James Bond based.




These were a quite photo montage that I created to
allow me to play with colours and get a basic layout
.




The photo layouts inspired a painting
.




Add a few lines here 'n' there and I get something that
roughly looks like a possible poster.



and as an added bonus all the left over bits 'n' bobs
seemed to make a nice looking banner, with a
blood splatter and an old school magnifying spy glass.

Got a Jag?



A small drawing of a Jag quickly became a painting and
then a possible vintage car ad.

the moon, using only four colours.

Robo-Head



A random story-board thing from a couple of years ago
I've forgot what it was for or about, but it seems to depict
a story of a slow moving robot's head, maybe he was on a
fashion shoot.

college exhibition

a room in waiting

After three days of cleaning, painting, and
lugging 30 four-by-eight boards up a flight
of stairs the room still looked like a mess.
There was only one way to solve this, and
that was to put some work up.




A nice view of how some of the stuff looked once up.
(mines on the right)





A closer view.




The large paintings were displayed behind a card
window frame that also contained the title and
caption underneath.




The smaller paintings were displayed as prints.
These were printed onto vintage paper to represent
how these adverts would have aged by 2050.




(last photo by: will scobie )

Oh and finally (hold on let me grab a party popper and
a glass of bubbly) some people actually looked at my
work, hooray!

Four A2 paintings

All images have been painted using acrylic on paper.



A super large ship designed to take short-cuts across
land, it can even carry smaller vessels on board.




A sky bridge held up by giant Zeppelins over a city.
Designed to speed up the flow of traffic; to, past and
from the city with many connection links.




A car with legs, designed for space exploration it is
able to jump over many large creators on any alien
surface.




A train that can go any where, being able to lay its
own track as it goes. Using the Roman idea for moving
large objects with logs that are moved from the behind
to in front of the object. This also borrows the idea from
the Wallace and Gromit toy train chase.

three small and landscape



Horizontal take off, using the Earth's surface to aim the
rocket upwards while building maximum thrust along
the ground.




Getting a helping hand. A super sonic jet can be
towed part way around the world from passing
satellites.




Finished painting of the ash jet idea mentioned earlier.

two small and portrait

These are the only portrait images
that are used within my FMP and
they are also the only two to show
humans, I guess working in
landscape worked best for me in this
project.



This image shows how a water cooler
can easily become a water rocket
jet pack. These images are design to
be placed within an advert space
inside books or newspapers.




This image shows us the shoes of the
future. Shoes that can do the walking
for you and pretty much allow you
to go any where.
These images will include captions
when printed as an advert.
