Custom Toys | Skate Decks | Walls | Exhibitions | Artwork | Commercial Work

One of my designs was selected to be included in Series 1 of RAJE Toys Ltd.'s 'Project Blueprint', due for release in early 2011.
My design was hand-drawn on a printed template, in order to retain the hand-made feel of my custom work.

Commercially produced Skate Deck for Karma Skateboards. The brief was completely open; I produced a hand-drawn illustration, which ROST (Readers' Wives Collective) live traced in Adobe Illustrator, and added the coloured areas and logos. My design focussed on the skate deck's variable orientation; the design can be viewed from the top, bottom, left and right, as I turned the composition frequently while working on it. The result is a composition that is never 'upside down'.
The deck was produced in 4 colourways corresponding to the size of the deck.

This is a one-off custom item designed for my shop.

Laser etched vinyl dubplate for dubstep producers Killa & Instinct (Origin Audio). Made in a limited edition of 3, this is a hand-drawn design that was live-traced in Adobe Illustrator and etched onto the reverse of a vinyl dubplate. The playable track is on the reverse.

Commissioned by Sam Clark, the main challenge of this project was producing a design that would work visually when moving at speed, as well as when stationary. I used tagging and calligraphy techniques to create the design, suggesting movement when the bike is stationary, while remaining bold and simple enough to appreciate while in motion. The hand drawn design was live-traced in Adobe Illustrator and sent to a specialist printer, who created a set of heat-transfers for the bike's panels.

Mural for design firm 2 Degrees North, located in Guernsey, Channel Isles. The brief was to create a collaborative mural with the theme of metamorphosis and transformation in black and red in the meeting room of the firm. By myself and my colleague ROST from Readers' Wives Collective, executed in acrylic and acrylic ink directly onto the wall.

The Bubblegum Bangers challenge is a charity event where participants buy a car for no more than £500, and race around Europe, completing various challenges. We were asked to cover the paintwork of this car with a racing design, but with a twist to stand out from the rest of the racers.
This project was produced in collaboration with ROST.
