ILLUSTRATION, GRAPHIC DESIGN, LOGO DESIGN
London, United Kingdom
I established myself as a London-based illustrator/designer/artist in the summer of 2000. After ...graduating with a B.A. hons degree in fine art sculpture (a pool trophy and an
ever-expanding record collection from
dj-ing)... I returned to silk screen-printing, a medium that I had instantly taken to and experimented with on a previous college course and with which I'd achieved a distinction. Screen-printing led naturally to graphic design and illustration through a number of commissions. I've been regularly commissioned for a variety of design projects including logos, illustration, book covers, CD covers, record labels, signage, flyers, posters and private commissions with clients including the BBC, channel 4, Pearson publications, Raw Material, Tribe records and south london's finest, Yaaba Funk. if you have a design commission in mind (of the type listed above or something totally different) then feel free to get in, new projects and directions are always welcome. With a reputation for clear, precise and bold designs, I work economically with line, shape and colour to achieve a sense of calm and unity. Influences from knee high to now...parsley the lion, mr benn, lego, japanese toys, the banana splits, the arabian nights, sesame street, sitting bull, skateboarding, bongos, the unexplained magazine, the muppett show, king sounds drum room, monkey, rodigan's roots rockers, sumo on 4, shorinji, kahlil gibran, the funki dreds, matisse, picasso, native tongues, calder, kurosawa, peterson's worldwide, straight no chaser, batucada, maracatu, snorkling, spiritual jazz, the east, west, north and south...
