Teapot tuesdays PANCAKE SPECIAL!!

Now that DOES sound tasty! If I can find the time to go to this I am dressing up as a lemon/pancake and making up a new pancake themed dance (my house already has a pizza themed dance...) FO SHO

Illustration Friday- Layers

VERY TIRED but I was determined to get it done before friday, even though it's been hectic.

This only took me an hour, so it seems my hard work is paying off and speeding me up!

What better a reward for a hard days work than an excellent sandwich. And we all know the best sandwiches have LOTS of layers!

Bagatelle Comic Cover

Possibly 3 million photoshop layers later, here he is! I'll post up some images when I've printed off for hand-in so you can get a better idea of how it looks in the real world.

Bagatelle cover development

Here is the mid development point to this weeks project - a cover for the comic 'bagatelle'. I've got to admit I wasn't looking forward to it. But then, chin up and all, I've used it as a chance to experiment a bit more with the methods I've been using recently. Starting to combine collage and drawing alot more and LOVING it. The finished version will be up end of this week, when it's due in.
(please note this is the full spread version, so please imagine it folded down the middle!)

Tiger tiger burning bright

This angry little thing is part of some experimental build up work (trying to develop the collage/drawing and mix them when it feels right). It's a bit fire-colour heavy from what I'm used to making (I think it needs more blue). Let's come back to it later, as per usual.

Teapot tuesday menu (part two)

Development of the teapot cocktails menu for club concrete. I've looked at it too much today to tell if it's good or not, but I've had the tumbs up from an illustrator housemate so it gets a break now and some fresh eyes tomorrow.

Logo pogos

The above are the first drafts for this last weeks brief, logo design.

From the top:

A semi tropical plant nursery, a family shoe short in t'north, A river conservation trust, and adaptahaus a company that build timber frame houses for individual clients.

Probably be really quite different by next week but here they are for now!

Possibly the best music video in the world

Whilst popping on an MGMT playlist on youtube to maintain my enthusiasm through the logo project I had a good accidental find. This band just came on the playlist and I couldn't stop watching the video. My favourite bit is near the end when the ghost is squezzing out to nip to the loo. Brilliant. Not bad music too.

Have a peek yourself!

Semi Tropical

We have been given a week to design and make 4 logos. The week finishes 4pm tommorow so it's all getting a bit scary but things are getting there! Here's a sneak peak of one for a plant nursery in cornwall speciallising in semi-tropical plants (with the restrictions of 2 colours only).
I think it should look a fair bit wild and overgrown and I'm pretty pleased with it so far.
