The elephant and the balloon

 

This is the children's book that I made for Natcoll, I had to use a previously written book so I chose to make the book that Bernard & Manny make in that episode of Black Books. This was a really hard assignment because I've never done any illustration before. I sketch the outlines of the characters and then live traced them in Illustrator, moved them over to InDesign where I filled them in with cropped sections of watercolured paper that I had scanned in aswell.

It took ages.


This is the book, it takes a while to loadClick & press left & right to change pages. (I think).

If anyone want's a hardcover copy give me an email and like $10. c:

David's Drive mock up

This is a poster I have just made for my flat mate David's drive show on RDU. I hope he doesn't mind me posting this. I'll get him to write a proper description and then tidy this up properly but I really like it in a completely tongue in cheek way. The darkfield lighting shot's of David we took today at Natcoll as part of my course. Cheesiest thing I've ever made.

Die! Die! Die! Tour Poster

A couple of weeks ago Andrew from DDD messaged me on Gmail chat and asked if I was able to make their New Zealand tour poster. Then he told me that it had to be done by 4pm the next day. I got it done in time, even though I watched the first NZL world cup match against Slovakia later that night. The band said they really liked it so hopefully they did, but after bouncing back a few times Flying Nun said that it didn't reflect the album art enough (which as a record label who needs to sell an album, I can totally understand) so they used their version instead. I'm still pretty happy with what I did so I thought I'd put it up on here.

Edit: No actually I'm not sure if i like it. I'm going to make the thumbnail smaller.


Film Scans

These are some scans off film of photos I've take on the last few years. A lot from Camp a Low Hum, the first skate park gig of Red Panda and the trip to Rhythm & Vines.

God Bows to Math 7" Cover

This is the cover for the upcoming "I write witty slogans for T-shirts" EP that GBTM commissioned me to make for them. I'm reasonably proud of it. More stock images from the mid 80s.
