I stumbled across this really nice video by Oren Lavie earlier today, and thought it was a great example of stop frame animation. It must have taken so long to do, but well worth all the effort. Very clever, and really cool.

Mind Design








A fellow student and friend of mine Mark Fuller showed me this amazing website the other day of London design agency Mind Design. It has some really beautiful and inspiring work that has got me excited about design all over again!

Commissioned Illustrations




copyright sktchpd 2010 ⓒ
These illustrations are ones I have done for various people as commissions. They are all done using a variety of soft, medium and dark charcoals, and are around A2 in size. These specific ones have sold for around £100-£200 (depending on size and framing). If you are interested in having anything done, please do not hesitate to leave me a comment or message.

Old Illustrations

These are a selection of Fine Art illustrations I did when I was at Sixth Form College for a project on Realism. Since finishing College I have done quite a few illustrations for different people, and sold them for anything between £70 - £200. Examples of these shall follow shortly.

WWF Awareness Campaign
This was a self-written FMP brief that focused primarily on the fast-declining numbers of Orangutans in the wild. I wanted to make more people aware of this issue, as not only are their trees being cut down to obtain Palm Oil, but vast numbers of larger Orangutans are being caught and sold on Bornean markets for street entertainment purposes.

These posters are some examples of the final campaign outcome. I drew the illustrations, logo, main headings and subheadings by hand as I thought it gave it a more authentic feel, as I was going for a Western-style 'Wanted' poster theme.

CD Cover Design
Another second-year project was to use the photography suite to create a CD cover design based on a band/artist of our choice. We were given a day in the studio working alongside a photography tutor, using all equipment available to us. Here are a few examples of shots before, during and after my shoot, as well as my final outcomes.







Here is my final CD cover outcome - front and back. I decided to create my photographic concept around the band MGMT and one of their singles 'Time To Pretend'.
