Pandemik Logo Design
This was a band logo design i was asked to do for the Liverpool Heavy Metal band "Pandemik".
They wanted something 'Metal" so i chose to do something based loosely on the Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots album art, which is quite tribal and natural looking.With lettering being made out of tree roots.i liked the idea of interlocking swirls and lines not unlike Art Nouveau but also not unlike a big massive hairy hells angel either.They were happy with my result nevertheless, and ive since heard there's tee shirts been printed with the design on.

Canvas Art
This was a set of canvases i painted for an art exhibition i was asked to display work at in Liverpool's 'Contemporary Urban Center'.I made them by first sketching a rough outline of my characters in pencil then painting the fill color in acrylic paints and once again outlining them in black Poska chalk marker pens.
I sold all 4 as a set for £150 :)

Custom Kawaii Bunny Sneakers
Unfortunately I hadn't gotten round to photographing these sneakers since i finished painting them 2 years ago.They have started to ware away slightly in places, the paint has chipped slightly too.
They were a pair of Duff High Top sneakers i bought a while back and wore for a maybe 5 months ,but stopped wearing when i better /more awesome sneakers were purchased.Then they were left in my ever growing pile of sneakers that i might some day wear again but still haven't in 4 years :P...I'm sure you can relate.
Anyway i got into the whole custom sneaker painting through looking at pairs of them that artists had painted, and were selling on Ebay, and thought you "know what!? I'm gonna have a go at this'.
However at the time i kind of jumped into the deep end with them and didn't really read up on them as much as i should regarding the correct and appropriate media for their creation,and so i chose to use acrylic paint for color, Poska Chalk Marker for the outline and i spray coated both sneakers in spray varnish.All of which were really just media i was already used to, and comfortable using.The outcome being that the finished sneakers are unwearable and will chip away and perish if worn in outdoor conditions.
Nevertheless my design was based on the Japanese Kawaii style with a side lashing of Street Art.I wanted them to look really cute and neat lined illustrative characters that girls into teapots, cupcakes and Hello Kitty would appreciate.

No Wave Magazine Design
I drew my design using the mac program GIMP.Not a program i usually use but i was having trouble with my copy of Photoshop and time was running out trying to get versions of it that lasted longer than one use before asking me to enter codes i didn't have or couldn't find.I decided seeing as the brief was so loose that i literally draw in my own style, characters from movies.I know its not an overly original concept but I'm at a point with my current style were i feel like I'm getting better and better at it,and had an initial picture in my head of the sort of thing i was going to do.In fact it was basically being that id draw lots of movie characters in my sketchy ,illustrative style and they would be inter locked and twisted round the frames of a strip of movie reel.Some of the characters i copied and pasted from other pictures id previously drawn and edited them to fit the new theme by making them into movie characters and changing their proportions slightly.

*Watermarked badly*
I'm very pleased with the final newspaper print.The colors have become a lot richer in depth which is something i hadn't envisaged happening until noticing it when i picked up my copy of the paper.But its all just a learning curve and to be quite honest It's nothing major just me being overly self critical.
The front cover art is pretty awesome too.I can't find the name of the artist anywhere in the paper though.Nevertheless 'props' to you.i really dig this style.

Dick Limerick Academy Album Cover
This was a CD cover design i did for local Liverpool Rap act 'The Dick
Limerick Academy', and their album "Merseycide.It started life as a
parody of the cover for the Sony Play Station game "Grand Theft Auto".
Which was one of my initial ideas for the acts imagery and album feel.I
vectored over each D.L.A members face and turned them into a similar
looking character to the game.Then added these faces over the characters
on the cover.It was actually G.T.A 3's front cover i was using to be precise.
Communicating with Ricky Wiley of The D.L.A we decided not to hit on the
whole parody side of things and get something more original and 'of its
own' that would stand out as being The D.L.As original theme.However we did
decide to keep the comic book character style.As this was something Ricky was into.
I eventually finished all 5 members and sent them to Ricky to mess
around with and do as he pleased with them.It was him that added the
background, fonting, positioning and size order of the characters.
Here is the design :

This was an album cover design i did for one of my many music projects "Rhubarb".
A Noise-Core / Break-Core / Heavy Metal act of which i program mental drum loops and guitar riffs into something ridiculously heavy and intense.You can find the whole album below as a free download.If Extreme Noise is your kettle of fish.Though i do make original music.This album was a remix album of many of my favorite and least favorite Heavy Metal bands.

Sponge Bob Zombie Teeshirt Design
This was for a birthday present to my sister, she loves Sponge Bob and
the band "Bring Me The Horizon". So i tried to combine both things into one
design.The B.M.T.H element would be the visible brain spilling out from
Sponge Bob's head.Which was based on Oli Sykes (Singer of B.M.T.H) 'Dead
Kitty" design for his clothing brand "Drop Dead". Google it if you need to.
