Lion Experiment

Lion Experiment

So, my deadlines are drawing closer and closer. I have arrived back at my original project hoping to complete it in the next few days. This experiment is based on my previous worked containing animals and so on. I have used pencils to work things out, then worked in with water colour and ink and finished up with pens and ink, im trying to give the image a certain ‘flow’ and all of the final image will be a mix of everything i have done this year.

New Drag The Lake Design

New Drag The Lake Design

This is not evil!

Not intentionally, i was going for the placid kind of horned creature…. also aimed for the offset style text to give it a bit of a natural print look rather than photoshoptastic.

took around 4hours.

Sinking Ship Promotions

Sinking Ship Promotions

This is a reworking of the design i had done previously for sinking ship promotions, basically had to design a myspace ‘header’ which is easier said than done. Using a Combination of photoshop, Illustrator and photography ii ended up with this, it took around 2 days to complete in full.

We Are The Ocean - Ready for the Fall

We Are The Ocean - Ready for the Fall

Hands! Hans !
Well, i was working on the album art, which is going to involve a bugger load of hand as the sea. I had to practice so i drew this hand to get my barings a bit more, on showing Jack (WATO) he like the idea so i ran with turning it into a CD cover. It was originally intended as a sketch, then a tee shirt and now this.

We Are The Ocean - Nothing Good has Happened Yet

We Are The Ocean - Nothing Good has Happened Yet

This took Forever!

The first bit of work i did for WATO, working with the idea of ‘nothing good has happened yet’ and the fact Jack (WATO) had told me what the song was about. I came up with the idea that this guy, that bad luck wont leave alone, has hit the final leg of his life. I was thinking that maybe he should be drowning but it would be obvious and i didn’t think anyone would expect him to be falling through new york, so there you have it. It referenced from a ariel photo of NY but i couldn’t tell you where, obviously buildings arent bendy either!

sort of got a multi angle thing going on to, try spinning it around
