Pixel-Tastic

Hi there,  Thought I best at least mention my other sideline.  It's called Pixel Presents  I make pixel portraits of families as well as limited runs of pop cultural icons.  I also dabble in infographics and graphic design.  Check www.pixelpresents.co.uk if you like.

Lottie and Macy

So last night I went for an evening walk with Macy and Lottie.  Macy was testing out her new enormous magnifying glass! I couldn't resist but to try and make a book illustration style image from it.

Farm Sketchin'

Some fun creature design

After doing some more earnest concept work I thought I'd have some fun with some 'toony creature design.  My main aim was to push shapes and angles more than I usually would.

A 'Rare' Treat

At the beginning of the year I did some contract work for Rare.  One of the cool tasks I was given was to design some limit edition Xbox cases for some promotion for Wrigley's.  So guess what I stumbled upon a few weeks ago (top image)? you got it.  The final designs.  Not exactly like mine but you'll always get some evolution in the process.

More Paints!

Just a one off piece to try and keep fluid.

Sketches at the Birmingham Sealife Centre

Like a good dad, I took my little girl for a day out in half term. Life a good art nerd I did some sketches whilst I was there. We went to Birmingham Sea Life Centre. It was rather good, also it turns out fish are really cool to draw! (who knew)

Sketchbook - Now with added paint!

I have a new moleskin sketchbook and I've taken to drawing buildings recently.  I also stole my daughters watercolours to give them a wash.  I must get on to Santa about getting her some better quality art material

Flexing some brushes

I got me some new brushes so I took them for a spin.  This is the result.  I'm pretty happy with it I think.  I could have worked it up more I think but I wanted to keep the impressionistic quality of it.

25 min colour sketch

Another doodle.  I really am not sure if these are worth posting up as they are just to keep me loose but hell, may as well right?
