TWITTER ILLUSTRATION

24 Sept 2012

Last week Twitter added a few new additions, including a new header. Rather than using one of my previous illustrations and repeating it in the header like a lot of other Tweeters are doing. I thought I'd do an illustration specifically for my Twitter page. I wanted to showcase my illustrations, rather than doing a collage of thumbnails, I illustrated a mixture of picture frames for my work to be showcased in. Go and have a look and let me know what you think.

DOG-EAR MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION

22 Sept 2012

I was on Creative Review's (CR) blog a few months ago and stumbled across an article on CR that 'Fallon London' have created this nice little project called 'Dog Ear'. It's basically a bookmark that's created by illustrations and stories submissions. When they have enough submissions they will print the bookmark and spread them around a few selected London book shops. It's a really nice idea and it's free to submit, so send yours in and our work might be in the same bookmark.

I've always been a fan of 'Lost' posters (I've got this fantastic book with some bizarre and wonderfully Lost posters, discover it for yourself http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Found-Posters-around-World/dp/1568983379) so my illustration is the book shops looking for their bookmarks back, my piece is called 'Lost'.

I was reading this article last week http://www.thefwa.com/interview which interviewed Keith Reinhard. He used this quote from the legend Bill Bernbach, I found it so true and something to keep in mind when at work.

The article is a real worth while read.

Yesterday we found out at Palmer Hargreaves that the work we did for The Drum's Fauxlympics competition, got Silver and Bronze position in The Hurdles category: Ads which manage to get around the advertising rules. Which is fantastic news. Thanks to everyone who voted for us from my post a few days ago. Both of our pieces are currently on The Drum's homepage, see below.

WHAT RULES?

7 Aug 2012

Last week a group of us at Palmer Hargreaves did some ideas for The Drum's Fauxlympics competition. See details about it and to see everybody's entries

http://www.thedrum.co.uk/news/2012/08/06/voting-has-begun-drum-fauxlympics-who-will-win-grand-prize.

It's basically a chip shop award competition, break all the rules, never having a chance to run in reality (maybe for a few seconds, if lucky). It was fun to work on, laughing going throughout the office as we showed each other ideas.

One of our entries was lucky enough to made it onto The Drum's homepage today and the rest are on their Facebook page, which you have to vote (Like) for them to win.
