Back from the dead/ travelling

Hey, i've been away travelling for a few months and forgot about my sweet, sweet blog. I have managed to dig out a few images i was working on before i left for your viewing pleasure. I will try to be far more productive in 2011 but cant promise anything.

The death of my website............

I am currently taking my website apart as it needs a well overdue update. It has nothing on it at the moment as i am trying to find the time to work on the new one. I will hopefully have it up and running before mid October and will let you all know when it is ready. Here are a few random illustrations i have drawn over the last few weeks for you to enjoy in the meantime.

Worm

This is a drawing i put together quickly as i realised i hadn't uploaded anything to my blog in a while. I am going to start to up my out put in order to keep myself motivated. I have also changed my blog header which i am pretty happy with.

Mekong Images

These are the images of the Mekong Red Dragon Rice packet. I am really pleased with how it worked out. It is a nice clean, simple design but i still think it is bold enought to stand out on a shelf.

Mekong Red Dragon Rice

Hey i am back from my travels to South America full of inspiration. I had been working on a project before i left for a Vietnamese company called Mekong Red Dragon Rice. I was asked to do the illustrations by an amazing Graphic Designer called Scott Lambert. I had to produce 4 illustrations that would show the story of how the rice is grown, transported and sold along the banks of the Mekong river. I decided to draw the images using lots of marks and lines. I also tried to make them look as bold as possibe as they had to stand out in order to make the product eye catching. I am really happy with the final result and hope to work on similiar projects in the future. Have a look at Scotts blog to see the images http://design-positive.blogspot.com and i hope to put up my on copys soon. The product is now available in Vietnames supermarkets, really cool to think i can see my work in Vietnam.

Strawberry Fields

This illustration is for Gen Ryan my former class mate at ECA. She is putting together a series of images based on the song Strawberry Fields forever by the Beatles. I didnt really know what to do for it so i just created this Strawberry monster that eats people. I am wanting to get back into the routine of making up characters so this was good practice.
