Armada Skis 10/11

I haven't updated in a while, but! became mrs MK-O in the meantime, so very big news!

And as most of you, am getting very excited about winter and snow and skiing/snowboarding this coming season. A while back the US mega brand Armada asked me to do a design for their current 2010/2011 Men's AR7 skis. We then modified the print to suit Men's Apparel Jackets. Check out their website for lots of fun things.

I had no idea there were designated pots you can buy to sprout your beans before this little poster job came along. You learn something every day. Hopefully you will be inspired to make your own! Yee ha.

Antony and Cleopatra

it would have been more exciting to continue into this sort of direction, but the client wanted simplicity. in the end, they got confused and rejected the project altogether.

Working alongside Art Director Tia Grazette, we are creating Words Of The Week to engage with, for the Plastiki voyagers. Each week they write something on their blog and you guys comment and discuss. This week it's all about FOOD. Last week CURIOSITY was the theme. More to follow.

Fish Free Friday website is finally up!

FFF is part of the Plastiki journey to tackle/highlight the overuse of plastic within our every day consumption. Over the past few months working with Tia Grazette as the art director, I have been drawing different species of fish which are close to serious extinction levels. Absolutely wonderful project, please check the Plastiki website out and read up about their voyage on their plastic boat, the fish and way way more! Perhaps we can make a wee difference by applying small restrictions to our diet.
In total 52 different species will be presented. Keep checking back and be good!
