New t-shirt design I am working on at the moment. Will update this post with a new photo very soon, as I did a re-draw of the bear last night.

KaneFM myspace design

Custom myspace layour for the KaneFM boys...used the new CSS based layout options and its easier than ever.

Sooooooopa Busy!

Just an update to anyone that does look at this blog...sorry I've been so slack lately.

Been choka-blok with work, festivals & tax returns etc...This does of course mean I'll have loads of new stuff to put up in the next few weeks OR when I can find the time.

Just got a DJ booking for September 11th...is this a good thing?! Planning to get the bus to this gig instead of taking my plane, don't want anyone to get paranoid!

see you on the other side...hopefully not with David Gray!

August Medium flyer design

Medium lands once again on Wednesday 12th August...line-up looks awesome! I went for a bubble gum pallette on this repeat pattern, think it came out pretty good.

Atticus E-flyer Design

Atticus e-flyer design collabo with Play.com. Click on the image to view it larger, can't get enough of the m-m-m-montage!

Brap to the future!

Another one of those pesky t-shirt designs. Hey...I may not know karate, but I do know karazy!

Steamroller Gig photos

A small selection of my favourite shots from the Steamroller reunion gig. Quite happy with the results considering I haven't done any gig photography for years. Thank the gods for Sony SLR cameras!!!

Steamroller Reunion Gig - Poster artwork

Ok so it looks a bit like the Phylum flyer I just did...I know! Got asked to put this together at very short notice for a member of my family, to help promote an upcoming gig. Some proper 60's blues in the lovely old Oxford.

Medium @ Cable flyer

Just finished this A5 flyer for the next Medium event. Click on the image for a close-up view. This Medium event is at Cable, a new venue just off London Bridge. I will hopefully see some of you there!

New Phylum Flyer

So I am back on the Phylum firm once again, designing the flyers and spinning at the night as well. We went with a proper old skool brief on this, straight outta 1978! So I dug out my shell-toes and a fat gold chain, and popped this nugget out on the way!

MC Lowqui sticker

Sticker I was asked to put together for MC Lowqui. Pretty hectic design and full of the usual splats and shapes. Bit of a tight budget so I threw this together, pretty pleased with the outcome. I will post a photo of the final printed version when I get a few samples. See you down under Che!

Medium May Flyer

Here is the flyer for the next Medium event at Plastic People. Look out for the banners knocking about on the wegaweb...should be a heavy night! Dunno where the design idea came from for this, but its gone down well with everyone.

Another PartBear T-shirt

Another design mock-up for the clothing brand I am slowly piecing together. This is a front panel print on turquoise. You can't beat a forage in the woods.

Cohesion Event Flyer

Flyer I designed for upcoming night at Bar Bloc Peterborough. Props to Freddie@Medium for getting this one. Should be a good night if you like bleeps, squeaks and bass!

Coney Island Tee

One advantage of working from home is you get more spare time. So I am slowly piecing together a collection of t-shirt designs that I aim to put into production over the summer. This one uses a photo I took in Coney Island NY back in 2000...pretty simple but I like it a lot.

I'll be posting a selection of the initial designs on this blog over the next few weeks, Haven't decided on a name for the brand yet...working title is PartBear.

New Medium t-shirt

Mock-up design for the new Medium t-shirt. Collage uses shots from the past 2 years of events. Not decided on colours for the print run yet. I'll post some pics of the finished product when its done.

Medium Second Birthday

This is the rejected artwork for the Medium Second Birthday flyer. I think it's awesome considering its for free. Oh well...they never choose the one you like!

2 years of flyer design for Medium

Jazz T 'All City Kings' LP labels

Shot of the LP labels I did for the Jazz T album. I think I like these the more than the robot CD cover artwork. Really pleased with the typography on this and I also nailed the black on black repeat background.

Susie Clarke Acoustic EP artwork

Jewel case CD artwork for my friend Susie's 4 track EP. Biscuit colours and a bit of texture...where's the tea?

Metal business card from way back...

Steel business card with etched and dissolved graphics/typography. I designed this for a client a few years ago, dug a sample out when I moved house and thought it was about time to show it off. These cards aren't cheap and can't even be taken on a plane, but they look awesome!

Atticus Spring Summer '09 Catalogue

Atticus Spring Summer '09 catalogue with gold pantone print cover. Hopefully this collection is dropping in the shops next month. Just worked on the Lowlife AW'09 catalogue...will post pics of this as soon as I get a copy.

Home&Dry Tees - first run

Here are detail shots of the first four designs that got printed. Colourways were changed from the original scheme I advised...oh well, you can't win them all.
