Unused illustration produced for Greenpeace earlier in 2014. The brief was for a 20m x 5m (yes meters!) banner illustration. The big skeleton above is 50% 'actual' size. Sadly the direction of the campaign went in a different direction before it could get printed. Still there's nothing more enjoyable than drawing businessmen and politicians acting like idiots.

Hey Monkey Riot x Christmas part 3

Third Christmas card design of 2014. One more to come. Really wish I'd had to time to animate this one too. Anyhow, hope your December 25th is awesome wherever you are and whatever you do.

A gif of an illustration I produced earlier this year for the Wall Street Journal showing sketch through to approved artwork. The brief was showing whether sommeliers should taste people's wine or not. Thanks to AD Kayla Reynolds for being awesome and letting me create this crazy french restaurant.

Some rejected colour variations for the latest Red Pepper cover. It made a lot of sense since there's too much contrast in them for text to comfortably sit on top, but I think they might be more visually interesting than the solution we had to go with.

At the end of 2013 I got asked to make some icons for a mobile phone video game here in Paris. A little way outside of my normal 'style' but a fun collaborative process. And it also means I achieved something on my eight-year-old-me's bucket list since my dream at that point in time was to draw video games! The beta version of the game's being tested at the moment and I think it'll be ready for release sometime in the coming months.

I've just heard the awesome news that I've been selected to be in 2014's Communication Arts Illustration Annual for the above illustration project I did for STIR magazine in December 2013. It's really incredible to be selected for such a prestigious annual. Thanks as always to Jonny Gordon-Farleigh over at STIR for running a great magazine! If you want to see the project in the flesh you'll have to buy a copy of the latest issue of STIR, which is available over at http://stirtoaction.com/winter-issue-out-now/
