Booze poster

Just for a little work booze, featuring the outrageous man on the right

Knocked this up as I saw something similar on a magazine cover and thought it looked quite groovy. But I decided to turn it into a colour study. The warm ground with cool objects has quite a strange effect

Just for kicks

The shining meets Schindler's list meets Little Red Riding Hood.

This is from a design project for a local record label. The brief was to design artwork for the back of a flyer that people would want to put on their walls. It had to exemplify the fact that the label focuses on electronic music and is dedicated to 'proper' song writing and original and talented musicians.

This one is quite disturbing! Don't know what happened there

Being critical, the image is a bit epic for a local rugby team. Though I had a poster in mind, I started the horse as an experiment in technique, but it looks quite groovy anyway. The horse was made by warping images of ink drops in water, combined with repeatedly distorting parts of a Harley Davison motorbike to form the ribbed areas.

I found a BBC publicity CD with some very weird images on it, which I thought I'd use. The woman was Jewish and survived the holocaust, I wanted to make something quite eerie and shattered, I found the associated concepts of lists very compelling so used type writer keys and Nazi material printed with the Jewish star to render the orbs.

Entitled 'The soothing sounds of Michael Shields', the original drawing ended up about five and a half foot tall. The artwork was for a band poster / merchandise

A mixed media collage turned into quite a bizarre illustration. I originally called it 'rib dancer', with the floating rib cage making up a kind of dress for the female figure.
