I have just updated my page on Many Hands with the new products that I created for the exhibition at Pick Me Up. Go and have a gander, you never know what you might see :)
I posted this up a while ago but this is a way better photo so I thought I would share it again. I created some collages for a show in Brooklyn called All That Remains curated by Charles Wilkin. This first piece is called Dance of the Hours.
I have just updated my website with six new projects including work for Toyota, Boden and Sunday Publishing. Also check out my new Daisy Do print available from the Many Hands store!
The last few weeks have been some of the most hectic and fun filled times of my freelance career. In December I launched and online shop called Many Hands with a university friend Adam Ellison. We were lucky enough to be asked to take part in this years Pick Me Up at Somerset House. With only 4 weeks notice until the show opened it was all hands on deck and quite a stressful task but we managed to bring together a great room that really reflected the ethos of Many Hands.
Above are some photos from the show, as you can see our room was jam packed with lovely work from all our artists. We went for the theme of Here Today, we felt that it was important that our customers realised the artists creating the work were in the space so they could talked to them and feel involved in the whole process. We received some great feedback and people were genuinely excited when they realised they could talk to the artist who’s work they were buying.
Over the next week I am going to be posting up some work that I created for the show plus a selection of artists who’s work I particularly enjoyed.
Recently I have been working with the talented people at Us Two to create an artist pack for their iPad app called Granimator. By manipulating elements created by various designers and illustrators, Granimator users can create their own wallpapers to display on their iPad and iPhone.
My pack is a collection of textured geometric forms and quirky fun collage brought together in a space inspired environment. To date there are 94 packs to choose from, including ones by Pete Fowler, Mike Perry, Micah Lidberg, James Joyce, Kate Moross, McBess and many more!
These are two pieces created for Trekx. I wanted to explore creating prints that were connected even though they were separate. I did this through playing around with stings that weaved in between the two images via wormholes.
This wooden totem is one of the pieces I made for my exhibition called Trekx. It was inspired by the ceramics I came across during my trip to Cyprus. Every block was hand cut by myself (hence the wonkyness). This is something I definitely want to explore in the future, there’s something very therapeutic about wood craft.
Back in April I was commissioned by YCN to make some paper fruit for a Gap in-store installation during the week of the Milan Furniture Fair. My work was displayed along with other illustrators that included Jean Jullien, Jiggory Pokery, Hattie Newman and Owen Gildersleeve. Great Fun.
I created a small animated set for Wired Us back in May. The article is about the introduction of the long awaited IPV6. A great little project as it’s my first animated illustration for an iPad.
