The Glossies

Just as I was shutting down for the festive break, Saatchi & Saatchi handed me a nice, fun brief to illustrate the cover of Marketing magazine. Thus keeping the crap tv and saturates at bay for a little while longer. It looks like this…

Merry Boxing Day

Merry Boxing Day, to all who, like myself, are still working. I salute you comrade. Wear your pallid, midwinter complexion and accompanying under-eye swelling with pride.

It’s been a crazy busy end to the year and I shall soon be updating the site with some choice graphical produce for the likes of Droga5 and Saatchi & Saatchi amongst others . For now, here’s a christmas stocking.

Getting pretty intimate with adobe illustrator for a rather large ad campaign I’m working on presently.

The broadsheets

A little editorial in this week’s Guardian’s independent bookshops supplement. All about a science fiction bookshop in Edinburgh. I’m no expert, but as far as I’m aware there are only two visual memes within the context of ’science fiction’ and I will pipp for ‘camp-50’s/60’s’ over ‘The Matrix’ any day.

The Other Me

As the discerning reader knows, the work I post on There Will be Unicorns is only roughly a third of my creative outputs, albeit my favourite third. As I am still yet to create a suitable internet dwelling for my other work, I have housed them temporarily, for all to see, on my cargo site. Should you not have time to click that link, then a few pieces are shown below.
