FEB 2013: NEW WORK

Here's a sneak peak at some of my lastest 'love inspired' illustrations. Once again typography plays a big part in my designs and I'm starting to find a way to balance the nature inspired elements with the type. I unveiled my new designs at cheltenham arts market last weekend for the first time and they proved a great hit. I've got a few more designs up my sleeve which i will pop on my blog when complete.

FEB 13: BOB MERCER WOODTURNER

Here's a lovely little branding and web deveplopment job I've recently worked on for a woodturner client Bob Mercer - the sedgley woodturner. Bob's website is now live and looks splendid thanks to the splendid work on my developer Handsprings.  Have a peek at the website here bobmercerwoodturner.co.uk

FEB 13: SMOKESHOW IMAGES

A month ago I took part in photoshoot for a photography project called Smokeshow by the rather awesome photographer Ian Davies.  Smokeshow is going to be featuring some of the West Midlands notable creatives including a celeb chef, a crime writer, musicians, bands and a good mix of other arty dudes. I was styled by Sy-Anne Holden in a yellow owl shirt and photographed in front of my typo wall mural at Crust.  I'll post the image in due course.  In the meantime have a look at this fab image that Ian assisted on for Vogues.  I think you'll agree, it's a stunning image.

FEB 13: CRAP BLOGGER

I've finally got round to updating my blog..... but only six months later - oops, slap on my wrists.  I am pretty pants at keeping it up to date. I'm hoping once my new website is up to date that I will do it a lot more regularly (she says).  A lot has happened in six months.  Christmas saw a really busy market period for me and I did my best ever at Cheltenham Arts Market.  I'm pleased to say market season has returned and I will be a regular at Cheltenham throughout this year.
