bottle tops

a long time ago i started collecting beer bottle tops. beers drunk, loved, loathed, vomited, lauded, regretted and lavished over. now i'm making something with the remenants

just can't get the help these days

The broken 8 plate wreckers club

why is it that i'm always having to battle inherent compression engines?
anyway, something to celebrate those friends of ours who destroy their plates.

Beating the sucking maw of a white piece of paper by working up some text i drew. For those heavy footed bastards in the derby world

Getting back on the horse

You know that feeling when you have a white piece of paper in front of you. The one where you see what you want to do in your head but to make the first mark is terrifying. (n.b. this ramble also applies to blank work area in adobe suite).

That's where I am right now. About to be laid off from the job I took to keep my family's head above water. Now with a wee man to care for and feeling out of practice, with a month to find gainful employment. 

So what's a person to do apart from make the first mark and hope something good comes out of it

Beer bottle top beginnings

For the last ten years odd I've been collecting beer bottle tops from around the world. Today I begin the ehemoth of a task of making something from them.
All the fun

coming soon to a shirt near you

something good on the horizon. can't wait to show off. 

The Wave Maiden.

It's been a while since I posted online. Leaving London and trying to start a new life, my own company and a marriage will do that to a guy's online presence I guess.
However, I got to design a logo for the lovely Ali and Paul at The Wave Maiden,  a new bar and grill starting in Portsmouth.
They had a really clear idea of style and concept, but Art Nouveau isn't my usual thing so this was an awesome challenge to take Mucha style Nouveau and make a vector capable logo with it.
i'm really happy with it, the clients like it. This was one of those jobs where you wish the client had infinite budget because you have so many great ideas for where the identity can go.
I cannot wait to see this on a hanging sign.
