Brand carrier t-shirt.

'Life is what you make it' t-shirt design. A single line flowing to create a script style piece of type. I like the strokes used, showing the imperfections. I could imagine this design working well as a screen printed piece.

Life is what you make it

Another t-shirt design I created for the Ringspun brief. I took the 'Life is beautiful' theme and used a commonly used phrase 'Life is what you make it'. The mostly white design is a hand drawn design and the other has been worked on using Illustrator to give it a dynamic style to create a feeling of movement.

D&AD Degree Show Bar Illustration

I was asked a few weeks ago if I would like to do something for the bar area of our end of year degree show. I was told to do some illustrations, anything. This was very open so I thought it would be appropriate to have birds flying. To represent us leaving Uni and going into the industry. I added the line 'SPREAD YOU WINGS AND EAT WORMS'. I asked a friend and all-round creative Tom Blackett to work on the one-day project, asking him to take control of the type. His love for type and my passion for drawing created a great piece of work which got a huge amount of attention.

Monsterboy t-shirts

Images of the set of t-shirts I had printed for my Monsterboy project.

More faces of death

These are images of the final pieces I created for the anti-war project. Let me know what you think.

Lady town colour

Here is a development of the first piece 'lady town' which I am getting printed onto a t-shirt tomorrow.

robot leaflet.

Here is a mock up for the Recycle Robots leaflet. Simple, friendly and playful.

Lady Town

This is another piece inspired by my weird little brother Louis. He didn't know where I went ever year when I moved into Manchester city center. He called it 'LADY TOWN' because he thinks that's where all the women go shopping and he hates shopping.

'Magpies Eat Birds'

My little brother can sometimes be a great influence on my work. His name is Louis Hammond and he is 7. He lives in a bizarre world where he is king and everything is strange. He recently told me that not magpies are not birds and in fact they eat birds. I have no idea where he got that from but i thought it was amazing. He has all these little words of wisdom and he is never wrong.
I am including these images in my Monsterboy project as I feel they would make great t-shirt designs.

Illustrated typefaces

These are a selection of hand drawn typefaces I have created recently. They are all different, they all represent different things. I have created these to support my ongoing illustrations for 'Monsterboy'. They are fun and have a hand drawn charm which is kind of what I am trying to express. I want them to represent me, my style of design.

Robot A5 to A1 poster

I wanted to make something more interactive for people to have and desirable to keep. I have tried to tell a simple narrative of how the robots were created. Starting with the pens, next the Mac the the robot parts etc......

Monsterboy A5 to A1 poster

I have been looking at different way to format my designs. I have created an A5 document which pulls out to become an A1 poster. I printed onto tracing paper which I later found to be very difficult to fold and manipulate. It is stiff and less flexible than paper which means it is getting damaged on the folds.

My lecture notes

I had no paper in a recent lecture but had a marker pen and a banana. Job done

My big posters

I arranged and printed three A1 posters of my 'little creations', I wanted to see then up on a wall rather than hidden in a sketchbook so here they are. I like the way they are arranged and with the 'robot' poster in a grid. They look organised and and at the same time a huge mess of my ideas. I again had the helping hand from my photographer friend Ed. "Cheers Ed!"
