At the start of the year I was approached by Blinkart to be part of an interesting project for Guinness. The project involved collaborating with a number of talented illustrators, carvers and art directors. here is what Blink say about it. Blinkart was commissioned by Saatchi and Saatchi to create a physical piece to celebrate the history of Guinness from 1759 to the present day, as well as making an accompanying film to launch their new brand strategy “Made Of More”. In response we built a twelve foot, two ton sculptured plinth which depicts the story of Guinness in the round, conceived and designed by David Wilson. David Wilson selected illustrators Robert Hunter, Bradley Jay, Micah Lidberg, and design studio Village Green to each draw a section of the story which would then be hand carved into the solid sculpture, marrying their individual different styles and creating a rich texture and depth to the monument.
Over the past months I have been working on a few projects all of which are yet to be released/finished here are some preview crops of what i have been working on.

For the Exhibition at Nobrow in December I made two designs that were printed at Nobrow by CLARK KEATLEY . above is "the meeting" which is the first of the two to be released. Order here
A quick editorial illustration for the Sunday Times. In the process of creating the final artwork I strayed from the colour palette I had suggested in the rough stage. So in the end I provided two colour ways to choose from.
Here is the working progress of the body and arms section i was asked to create for Richard house childrens hospice. The consequence/exquisite corpse portraits auction will be sometime in march at the Coningsby Gallery.
Pattern colour way option.
The book i produced for nobrow has gone to its second edition. The print finish is much nicer this time around and the colours truer to the origonal design.
