Without death there can be no life

This is my contribution to the Happy Journey Collective. I went with a bit of a serious theme. I was inspired by Mexican religious art and also Gustav Klimt.

Transparent bones

Here I started playing about with graphic design and mixing it in with my illustration and also some found imagery. really i was inspired by another illustrators work that I came across. He used a lot of strong line and colour contrast.

Uni Project

This is a double page spread of a magazine i have to make for uni about overheard conversations. This was a conversation i heard on the train when about 10 old ladies came and sat near me. Im not sure if the magazine it is meant to be B/W yet so i may add colour if it isn't but old ladies have grey hair anyway so it fits.

NEW TEE-SHIRT

Le moustache

Here's my entry for the 'Hello you creatives' in print. I'm really happy with how it turned out and i managed to get it in on time so fingers crossed they like it and use it , if not I'm loving it anyway so win win! Thanks to Luke and Jack for the heads up, thats Coloured Vapor Collectiveness!!!

Note: The peice is named after 'Daft Punks' awsome tune 'Darkwood' from their 'Discovery' album, my favorite album of all time...

M-BOT'S : Full Unit 01

Here's one of the projects I've been working on lately this was just for fun it isn't a final peice but I thought it was quite a good showcase of all the robots I've been drawing lately for the project!! The final peice is going to be a canny nice big canvas with a similar spacey background (fingers crossed)!!
(All these little fella's took up about 10 pages of my sketchbook, it's like they've invaded!)
