I love creating large detailed images out of patterns and I've been very inspired by Henna designs since visiting Indonesia this summer! The above is the beginning of a series of drawings I'm in the middle of producing using Henna patterns and random, decorative lines and swirls :)

Couch Puppy

A fun little logo I conjured up for my boss at Dynamo, inspired by his little fluff-ball of a puppy and her lazy sofa-slouching lifestyle!


Zomberries

What if a blueberry was left to go all mouldy and icky, and then grew arms and legs and 'rose from the dead'?...not very likely...but IF it happened, it would be a blueZOMBerry and might look a little like this:

Fizz and Foxy

New characters on the block!

These guys have been in my head for about a year, it's time they were unleashed upon the world. I have been doing a few character sketches in order to figure out how they look, move, behave etc...but at the same time I'm writing and creating their story so hopefully they'll soon be placed within a visual narrative depicting their adventures together...watch this space!


 

A beautiful World with Pukka and WWF

A few months back I was contacted by Brighton-based Neo advertising agency and asked to create some illustrations for the awesome herbal tea company Pukka, who were celebrating their 10 year anniversary and helping support WWF by brewing up a lovely new tea alongside a campaign named 'A Beautiful World'.

The campaign aims to celebrate the natural world in which Pukka grow the herbs for their eclectic range of teas and to raise awareness of the efforts made to conserve our beautiful world! Every year Pukka plant more than 20 millions plants and trees, and invest in renewable energy, sustainable projects and reforestation programmes. The partnership with WWF - UK is designed to raise more than £50,000 for the charity's global projects!

I was honoured to be involved in this project and massively enjoyed making what essentially was a large scale doodle pattern inspired by the Pukkapedia and the beauty of nature, which was then chopped and moved around and animated in order to create the backdrop for the campaign's microsite!
