Hi everyone, it’s come to the stage where i’m just so busy with work and my Any Forty project that I can’t dedicate enough hours in the day to keep all my blogs up to date, so this one has breathed it’s last breath.
If you want to see what i get up to you can still follow me on twitter

Art direction and design on a feature on design collectives written by my man Gavin Strange. The opening illustration was created by newcomer Sarky Bastid. Idea behind the illustration was by creating a collective your bringing together people with different skills to make a big, bad ass, design super team. Hence Sarky kitting himself out in some hillarious superhero posses! Good man…

Art direction and design on a feature on how to Land Your Dream Job, opening illustration created by some design idols of mine 123 Klan. The idea behind the illustration was a simple one, young lad, in his room, designing with dreams of landing a massive job and his work appearing on a billboard and taxi in New York. Nice dream to have!!
