Iliked the idea of just using the WordPress CMS from my blog to update my porfolio, but I find it’s a bit of an arse to navigate… So I’ve set up a new porfolio over on Cargo Collective, the URL is: http://cargocollective.com/cookie Please visit to check out all my latest work :)
Cargo is a really sweet portfolio system, I highly recommend me, check it out »

It’s that time of year again, but this time it’s going to be a yellow Christmas! This is the Christmas card I’ve made for my friends at Roome Consulting to send out to their clients. If you’re lucky you might get one in the post :)

This hasn’t been printed yet, but here’s a preview. At Poke we have to get our visitors to wear a sticker with the poke logo on while they’re in the building – something to do with fire regulations. We thought we could possibly use this to do something nice for our visitors, so we made this Sticker Saverbook. Basically it work like the old Green Shield Stamps, each time you visit you get your security sticker, when you leave you peel it off your jumper and add it to the book. So for clients who visit a lot, they can save up for some special Poke treats from our goodies catalogue :)

This is an infographic of my 3000 mile route across America on the Continental Divide Trail, due to start walking in May 2008! I produced this to get my head round the basic logistics – The white markers are towns we’ll be passing through to get supplies, with the dates we’re hoping to get there. The black & orange arrows indicate how many miles there are in between each town, how many days I expect it will take us to cover the distance and the average daily distance we need to do to get there on time. It looks deceptively simple, but this took me hours and hours to work out, and went through many many revisions!

This is my illustration of the Poke band Crank! The weeping all seeing eyes are a nod to the origin of the bands name – it came from Kester who would joke that he spends most of his spare time wanking while crying in his shed. We shortened it to Cranking and found it hilarious, the band shortened it further to Crank! I also made a series of nice big shiney desktops of the band, as well as the individuals band members here.
Update: Sadly the band has split, mainly due to Dave being sacked and Nico going back to Sweden…

These are a some Poke characters I made for a series of limited edition visitor stickers, which guests of Poke have to wear in our building. They haven’t been made yet, but hopefully soon! You can see some more work from this project here.
Client: K-Y | Agency: Poke | URL: http://www.areyoubritishinbed.co.uk/
This site was to promote K-Y Jelly’s new product Touch Massage. We basically built a sex quiz located in a passport control booth and asked the question - Are you British in Bed?. The advertising agency Mother lead creatively and I took care of the design, art direction and illustration.
Client: Orange | Agency: Poke
These are a couple of the header I made for the soon to released The Feed blog from Orange. The blogs content is going to be reasonably technology focused hence the circuit board and twisted wires concepts. I think I preferred the little birdies munching though.

This is a fictitious wine label I designed for a cardboard fancy dress box of wine outfit. The finished outfit, even dispensed wine, see some pics here! I also made it into a desktop which you can get here.

Eleanor, my friend, ex flatmate and owner of Roome Consulting asked me to paint some paintings to decorate her new office. I’m a bit slow at painting, so I roped my girlfriend Nicky to give me a hand painting them :) They loved them, some of the characters even made on to their website which I also designed.

This year the theme for my birthday party was cardboard, you could come as anything as long as you built it out of cardboard! This is the invite I designed for it. You check out some of the costumes here.

Blokes (and girls!) should know their partners vitals stats… but we all need some help from time to time! I made these Christmas 2007 to try and take the guess work out of shopping for your better half. Print 2 out, fill one out with your sizes and give it to your partner. Get your partner to fill out the other and give it back. Then head out shopping!
You can download the pdf for girls here & and the pdf for boys here.

This is a cityscape I drew for an Orange ad. I think it’s New York? Not sure, I based it on a photo I found on Flickr, but lost where I found the reference photo… I made this into a desktop, you can get it here.

My friend Ant asked if Me & Nicky would customise some Oh Baby baby clothes in any way we saw fit (to use in their shop window), of course we jumped at the chance! We ending up making them into baby clothes monsters, above is my Victorian punk rocker. Click here to see Nicky’s Convict muppet.
Oh Baby have a shop just down the road on Brick Lane and an online store here, you should check them out, they have some really cute stuff.
