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 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…
Client: Poke | Agency: Poke
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: 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.
Client: Personal
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.
Client: Orange | Agency: Poke
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.
Client: Personal
I‘ve done literally hundreds of Alexisms over the years, see the ones I’ve posted on my blog. Basically Kester makes notes of random things that Alex says, emails them round work and I do little graphics for them… a lot if it is in jokes, but I think they’re pretty funny!
I’ve also done a few of the other pokers too:
Client: Penguin | Agency: Made in England by Gentlemen
Penguin had an exhibition of handmade book covers of their My Penguin (blank book cover) range. They asked 130 folk to participate and I was one of them, above is the Cover I’ve did of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Client: Granny Beddard | Agency: Made in England by Gentlemen
This is the Jam label & branding I made for my mate Emma. Sadly she started her teacher training soon after and I haven’t seen any of the homemade jam yet… If you like it, you can also download a desktop of it here.
Client: Savitri Waney Charitable Trust | Agency: Made in England by Gentlemen
This is an illustration for the family fun Savitri organise in Hyde Park each year. This year the theme was Superheros. You can see me crossing the finishing line dressed as a super hero here!
Client: Personal
Ihad plans to start illustrating various national stereotypes, so far I’ve only got as far as No.1 the French… Someday I’ll get more done! The quote is from the French soldier defending his castle in Monty Phyon’s Holy Grail.
Client: ITV | Agency: Poke
These are a series of spoof newspaper cartoon strips. I made them to promote the ITV show Benedorm. I also made them into a series of online ads which the client said had the highest click through rate they’d ever seen.
