Marvel illustrations

iluustrations

During my leisure moments, I find immense joy in illustrating characters from Marvel movies. My artistic approach involves rendering them in a captivating geometric or polygonal style, adding a unique and modern twist to these beloved cinematic icons. This creative pursuit not only serves as a personal passion but also allows me to explore and experiment with diverse artistic techniques, breathing new life into the iconic figures from the Marvel universe.

RSPB Pin Badge Design

Design & illustration

For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with the RSPB, contributing to the design of their iconic bird badges. These badges, dedicated to supporting the organization’s charitable endeavour’s, have successfully generated over £1 million in funds raised. Throughout this journey, I have had the opportunity to illustrate a diverse range of over 500 birds, mammals, and marine likfe for both the RSPB and their partner charities.

Being an integral part of this initiative is a source of great pride to me. The appreciation and gratitude expressed by the client makes the collaboration immensely rewarding. Working with the RSPB is not just a professional engagement; it’s a fulfilling experience that I cherish.

Product Design

For the past three years, I've been collaborating with Children In Need, contributing to the creation of their promotional products. Each annual campaign involves a unique design, accompanied by meticulous brand guidelines that I meticulously follow while crafting artwork for print and packaging. I played a key role in devising innovative box templates for pens, badges, bags, and stickers, ensuring a seamless and visually appealing presentation for these products.

Sports illustrations

As an avid sports enthusiast, my passion primarily centers around football, with unwavering support for Arsenal and my local non-league team, Hoddesdon Town. My love for the game transcends the spectator realm, extending into my artistic endeavors. I thoroughly enjoy illustrating sports players, exploring diverse styles that capture the dynamism, skill, and spirit inherent in the world of football. This dual commitment, both as a fan and a creative, allows me to express my deep connection with the sport through various artistic lenses.

Design & illustration

I undertook a project involving Aardmans impressive illustration of the main character, aiming to seamlessly translate it into an enamel badge. The process entailed more than mere reproduction; I meticulously redrew the character, ensuring that its essence and intricacies were preserved in the transition to a badge format. Additionally, I crafted a complementary backing card design to enhance the overall presentation of the enamel badge. This intricate process aimed not only to capture the essence of the original illustration but also to create a cohesive and visually appealing package that showcased the character effectively.

ZSL Pin Badges

Design and illustration

Over the course of several years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) on an ongoing project focused on designing and developing their intricately detailed pin badge range. The evolution of this collaboration has been marked by a commitment to precision and creativity, with each pin badge meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the wildlife it represents.

One notable achievement within this collaboration is the introduction of the special edition iridescent rainbow style range. These recent designs not only showcase a high level of intricacy but also incorporate a unique and captivating iridescent aesthetic. The incorporation of this special edition range represents a dedication to innovation within the established partnership with ZSL, further elevating the visual appeal of their pin badge collection.

Trainer Posters

I wanted to work on creating a series of posters based around some of the  most iconic trainers. All the designs were illustrated in illustrator, and I had to narrow down the choice of colours as I wanted to try and show a select few that people will remember. So far I have done 5 variations but will be adding more in the future.
