One of my ideas for the Summer themed group exhibition I’m organising.

Tuesday December 22nd @ Little Creatures, lock it in!

Happy Halloween

Felt like doing something darker today, so here’s an early Halloween sketch!

L’Oreal gets a Shonky Award

Heard about L’Oreal getting a Shonky Award and thought of this…

Anyone remember those adverts for a moisturer called ‘Happyderm’, containing “molecules of happiness”?

Well…

I believe it has a tenderising effect.

Goodnight Tiger

Spent the afternoon tidying up the typography I’d proposed originally for Goodnight Tiger, as this was the girls’ favourite option. The type needed to be vectorised and have all the curves cleaned up.

Pez and Jill have taken very warmly to it. Great success!

Whale rock is also a victim of visual tangents!

Another landscape

I’m quite liking my current routine, or the lack thereof. Woke up early and completed today’s quota of work by lunchtime, then spent the afternoon painting.

I feel like it’s been a productive day.

Tiger type 2

I wasn’t completely satisfied with the last logo I designed for the Goodnight Tiger girls so I thought I’d try another approach. This one’s more elegant. The girls dress well for gigs and present themselves reasonably* professionally – I feel it’s also a bit more mysterious, which suits a lot of the songs.

Their music is very pretty, and while they’re fun and jokey I wanted to explore this avenue.

I’m still going to play around with the tail of the capital G, but it’s almost finished.

*When they don’t catch a glimpse of Bobbi or Sally getting their wild groove on and need to recompose themselves.

Summerscape

I met with Little Creatures’ event manager today and have lined up an exhibition for December 22nd (2 months away!) with a handful of other artists. Specific details to come – save the date, it’s a Tuesday.

The theme is ‘Summer’, and I’m liking the thought of doing some semi-abstract, dynamic landscapes. Here’s something I was playing around with today. It could be more dynamic, but I think it’s a nice little test.
