London Stories

London Stories // gouache on mountboard // ~100 hours

It took seven months to get this finished but AHA! Started this for a design competition with the theme 'London Stories', but it sort of got out of hand and I ended up filling an A1-height space with all the London-related stories and landmarks I could think of.

What A Carve Up

What A Carve Up cover // gouache and digital // ~30 hours

A cover design for the Penguin edition of the Jonathan Coe novel What A Carve Up, which is not the sort of book I'd usually pick up but I actually really liked it. Anyway, I picked up on the themes of obsession, interconnectivity and the media for this setup. The type is not the best it could be but the paintings came out great.

XL Recordings work [EPILEPSY WARNING: FLASHING GIF]

Passion From Birth poster//Photoshop//~7 hours

This is really my first foray into the more graphic-y end of the illustration spectrum. The brief was to create a poster and an internet illustration depicting one of a list of scenes from music history, for the record company XL. I chose to show rapper MIA's performance at the Grammys whilst 9 months pregnant. MIA is someone I admire a lot, musically, politically and artistically (her glitched Myspace-y graphic style is totally unlike mine but really cool), so I had a lot of fun with this one, plus I made my first animated gif!
