TMP– WISHES FOR MEES CARDS

As you may have seen recently the illustrators within The Mighty Pencil got together and contributed a design towards a pack of 24 greeting cards that can be used for any occasion. The complete selection can be seen above along with my individual design of a balloon dog which brought a smile to my face and hopefully yours too.

The reason that we put the greeting cards pack together was to try and help fellow penciller Jan Wennekes's son Mees who has unfortunately been diagnosed with cancer. Due to the severity of the case Mees can only receive the treatment he requires through specialists in Florida, USA so in order to help with the cost of making this happen we are selling these packs of cards for £20 each with the option to donate more from a drop down menu via the link below.

I'm happy to say that the target has been hit for Mees, but that doesn't mean that we are stopping! Any other money raised from purchasing a set of these cards will go towards supporting other families in similar situations and children's cancer charities. 

It's a great cause with great artwork that can be shared with a loved one for less than £1 a card. Click on the link below to make an awesome choice today.

MARC JACOBS

I know I've been a bit quite folks on making posts, as previously mentioned this is due to the new pieces for my upcoming solo show that I am dying to share with you. But all in good time.

As for now, how about an editorial I did for the German magazine ZEIT? There are more detailed shots on my website and flickr.

Hope you enjoy.

LADY GAGA SPOTTED ON COLOURSPACES

A big thank you to Radim for the exposure, very much appreciated.

WORK IN PROGRESS

During a little down time I was looking around the web and found an interesting opportunity that called for opening the pack of pencils sent to me by Derwent. The result of which is currently in progress and can be seen above.

I'll unveil the final piece and what it is for later in the month.

CREATIVE REVIEW

Here is something that I could not wait to share with you, a recent commission for Creative Review.

The crux of the article refers to a recent influx of celebrities being employed in creative roles by big brands. A prime example of this is Lady Gaga's new position as Polaroid's Creative Director. It was decided that this was the best approach to take for the illustration which can be seen in this issue of this wonderful publication.

More photos of the original piece can be seen on my website, Flickr and Behance.

1189 x 841 mm

My next self-initiated piece is for an exhibition towards the end of the year that I can't say too much about as of yet. A particular point of interest about this piece is that it will measure 1189 x 891 mm (A0). I have always wanted to draw something at this scale but the length of time taken to complete something of this scale is often impossible to fit into deadlines. However, I feel that this occasion calls for something special.

PHYSICAL PORTFOLIO

After enjoying a great Christmas with family and friends in Wales, I returned to the big smoke to find that the kind people at Ripe Digital had delivered the prints for my physical portfolio.

In this day and age where so much is done digitally many say that the need for a physical portfolio isn't high but I've got some big plans for this body of work.

'INNOCENCE'

I am delighted to finally share this piece with you that I have titled, Innocence. It was unfortunately due to the deadlines of other images that resulted in this image being less of a priority to finish. Having already started the portrait I was eager to get back to it and to continue with a recent push of portrait work.

Thankfully this image is complete and I can now begin a few other projects that I have been planning to start.

HANDSOME FRANK LOGO

As I have mentioned in my previous post my wonderful agent Handsome Frank has chosen my illustration of their logo as the cover for their Christmas cards, with this being the case I thought that I would share the illustration with you.

I've really enjoyed creating these recent type illustrations and can assure you that I'll be experimenting further with work in this area.

EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR CREATIVE REVIEW

After experimenting with pencil sharpenings for my new agent, Handsome Frank I began to think who else I would like to thank with a similar concept.

It was only natural that Creative Review came to mind, not only for being the pinnacle design and culture publication but also for their warm welcome and goodbye I received during my time there.

Hopefully they'll find a good home for this in the office.

CAN YOU GUESS?

An idea came into my mind the other day to find a creative use for pencil sharpenings. I decided to explore this and produced a little something for my agent Handsome Frank.

Can you guess what I may have drawn?

There is a little clue on the Handsome Frank blog with a possibility of a prize for the correct answer.

'BROTHER'

Something that I couldn't wait to share upon it's completion is the newest original I have created, a portrait of my brother. The illustration was revealed as part of the Creative Review tweet up in the Design Museum, London.

The portrait expresses a continuing attempt to explore the distortion of form, an element that I insist on incorporating within my work. The piece also acts as a big thank you to my brother for his help and support over the years.
