Swordfish for FishFreeFriday

Try not to eat Swordfish today. Here is why.

Grow your sprouts!

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.

Accidents in colour

randomly happened as one layer crossed another, and there you are. wonders of photoshop.

First time pitch

long term plan

risk assessment

team problem solving

As I was still studying at college, a job offer came through, where I was asked to pitch for a corporate visual artist position. (I didnt get the job, but ended up with these humorous drawings)
I'm still quite happy with them and think that imagery of this kind should definitely penetrate the high brow suit district.

I was clearing through debris of rubbish on my external harddrive, when I came across some sweet examples of work I did circa 2004/6. I did a whole series of random portraits using the brush tool of photoshop. Its nice to reflect.

Another transformation.

This is quite a time consuming experience, but I have to admit, I like the result alot. Its a complete different outlook on life.

Lets colour!

I have been putting this off for a few years, and now I am finally coming to the natural conclusion that I want to see what my work would be like in colour. So I have started to try it out with old work.
I seem to be into the colours of the baroque era- the clashing baby blues and purples alongside pinks and yellows. there is something innocent and erotic within this gamut.

A collage of speed.

I was kindly asked by the wonderful folks at Armada Skis to do a design for their most popular AR6 ski series. And this is what we agreed upon. I can't wait to get my pair of skis!

Gomorra

An interesting insight into the world behind the book Gomorra, written by Roberto Saviano. The author dares to reveal the infrastructure and intimate dealings of the Nepal's notorious Camorra gangs. After selling more than 600, 000 copies, he is now living in hiding under police protection.

Wise old man, why don't you tell me please... how not to cry my tears.

I took a snapshot of this old man as I was walking one morning, maybe afternoon on one of Yalta's sea fronts... it was sometime back in 2001. We were there by chance, a big group gathered together to spend no other than the New Years, in Russia's most famous summer resort. Those memories are imprinted within my mind. It was a great time, full of freedom and an air of possibility around us. That same year, that same month, I was saying good bye to my mum and my sister as they were moving to the far shores of the United States. Somehow this man, this lonely old man captured the melody which cried within me at the time. I didn't say hello. I should have.

The trainers came later. Much later. In fact, to some degree, they have made him into a mockery, but to be honest, it could have been him, in an old pair of trainers. Borrowed from his grandson, or maybe found in some neighbouring alley. There are so many hidden paths in Yalta.
So much poverty, yet lots of laughter.
