JDA Office Walls

It's been weeks since I'd completed the wall mural work at JDA but I've been so behind on updating the blog. JDA Marketing are based in the Shipley area of Leeds and can boast big clients such as Halifax in their portfolio. I was asked to come in and draw a mural on their main office and also dot some characters and illustrations in their recreational room. I had a lot of fun doing this, especially hiding illustrations on corners and above plug sockets etc.

Alice in Wonderland


I was asked by a friend to design a t-shirt based on Alice in Wonderland. I was a tad reluctant at first as it seems to be all the rage again with the new Tim Burton film out. But I thought it'd be nice for me to put my own spin on the characters, truth me told I'd never read the story and I'd only watched the Disney version of the animation when I was a kid but I still remembered who the characters were.

I enjoyed making this image and the whole 2 colour print idea came out of no-where, never would I ever think of using brown and yellow together on any other piece but it seemed to suit this time.

Yeti

This was done as a private commission by a Mr. Daniel Barker who loves his skiing and yetis. The final version has the yeti with black eyes but I quite liked this one with the pale eyes.

Covert Sound System March Flyer


Me and graphic designer Chris Smith have designed the flyer for Plug's Covert Sound System night. I'm going to keep to a sci-fi theme to each monthly design so expect to see more posters and flyers dotted around Sheffield!

This Is Chemistry Wall Mural Video

Heres the first video of my first day at This Is Chemistry in Bradford, doodling on their pristine white wall. This piece was based around the whole idea of building and putting together ideas, so the idea of little robots constructing a giant robot came about, again I really enjoyed putting together little scenes and hidden gems within this piece.


Ledgard Jepson Wall Art Video

I'd forgotten to upload this to the blog, but here's the video footage of the day I spent at Ledgard Jepson's studio doodling away on a perfectly pristine white wall. Why they allow me to do such thing I do not know, but its great fun none the less!

This Is Chemistry Wall Mural





The past week I've been in Bradford for 2 days drawing on the walls of This Is Chemistry, a PR and Design agency with a beautiful studio space and wonderful friendly staff.

The idea behind the illustrations on the walls are based around process and robots as fun decor for clients and staff to enjoy, I've certainly enjoyed doodling away for them even though I've mashed up most of my sharpies pen collection. Oh well. I've never drawn such intricate scenes before on such big spaces but it is a lot of fun and offers me room to add in hidden extras and easter eggs for people to spot.

I still have another 2 days to complete the job with one more wall illustration to start and to add spots of colour to rest of them. Can't wait to see how it all turns out!
