Outstanding bit of 3D work by @design_x_adam, taking the Q design I did a little while back and reframing it in a whole new context. . . . #Q #illustration #illustrator #c4d #maxonc4d #vectorillustration #type #typography #lettering #designinspiration #designinspo #designer #typebeat #typedesign #signs #neon #collab #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #artoftheday #london #freelancedesigner #graphicdesign #graphicdesigner #calligraphy #creative #font #lettering #letterq @maxonc4d @adobe @illustration_daily @weloveillustrations @typespire @typetopia @typeverything @lettering_daily @theletteringhub https://www.instagram.com/p/B_CMT5QhOy3/?igshid=l59er7cshi9r

Timeout Magazine sent me a commission to design and illustrate the cover for their June 'Summer in the Park' edition.

Referencing Art Nouveau (and in particular Alpohonse Mucha) as their style guide, they ask me to produce a bright, vibrant and Summery artwork featuring a stylised portrait of singer/songwriter Florence Welch (Florence + the Machine).

Commission from L’Oréal Paris to design and illustrate the identity for David Beckham’s premier range of male grooming products. The concept centres around David’s passion for tattoo, barbershop and motorcycle culture, referencing his own tattoos and iconography. Tessellating graphic motifs reflect the House 99 manifesto of searching for something new, whilst creating a feel of community and togetherness. “We’ve taken our time to create quality products, fine-tune the logo, packaging, and even the product names. We created House 99 to give people inspiration to feel confident in their lives. Welcome to the House." David Beckham.

Having pioneered 'art labels' over 25 years ago, Beck's invited me to showcase my work on their bottles for the 2018 reboot. Following in the footsteps of creative giants such as Gilbert & George, Tracey Emin, Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst, the invitation to present my work to the nation across 10 million bottles came as an honour and a privilege. The inspiration for my label came from the insight that Beck’s is brewed to historic purity laws using only four ingredients. I considered what else follows a similar rule of purity through limited ingredients? The answer I discovered is simple, if epic in scale. Four basic elements make up over 99% of organic molecules - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. When combined the multitude of life is incredibly complex and varied, but all adhere to a very simple and pure law - Evolution through Natural Selection. My ‘Tree of Life’ design contains specimens from all six major classifications of animals. I also wanted to use this platform as an opportunity to voice an environmental message. The animals are represented looking up to us, as I wanted to show them looking vulnerable with an air of uncertainty. With so many of the world's species under threat, without greater care for our impact on nature, we may end up sending them, and us, to extinction.

Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co., rescue lost barrels of rare whiskey, hidden away and long forgotten in the back of old rickhouses. Whilst taking craft and quality seriously, they asked me to bring a little fun to their latest and most extraordinary whisky, a 26 year aged Scottish Single Malt. The story of this orphan comes one particularly cold winter when a brave Highland Coo took it upon himself to shelter his fellow plants and animals - offering refuge in his long, thick hair. His reward: to be the first registered Coo, making his kind the oldest known Regal pedigree herd in the world.

Delighted to have won an AGDA Distinction for my work with Co-Partnership on the extremely limited edition Mr Black ‘Panama Geisha’ Coffee Liqueur.

Fancy a half, a tipple, a wee dram or a cheeky sherbert? Best Western Hotels magazine asked me to produce an illustration that would bring to life a series of drinking tours - designed to get visitors to their hotels into the local spirit.

Had the great pleasure of creating a whole suite of illustrations for the good folks at Samuel Adams of the last few years. Only problem is trying to get hold of them here in the UK!

It was a delight to be asked by the good people at Longtooth to help reimagine a 1960's icon. In it's heyday, Bengal Gin™ was the drink to be seen with. Fast-forward half a century and this style icon became the blueprint for a new London Dry Gin. Longtooth has all the essence and integrity of the original, revived and remixed for the contemporary connoisseur. And with 10% of all profits going directly to the WWF 'Save The Tiger' initiative, partnering a brand with a culture of responsibility at its heart was a dream project for me. So go on - buy a bottle of Longtooth gin and help save the planet!
