Logo Ideas for a friends band. I hadn’t heard their sound at this point, but the structure is there.
The music was good. Quite heavy with punky influences. Not really my thing.
The Design needs to be less clean cut, but that can be worked on.
Band promoter Howard Nicklas commissioned me to create a poster for an up and coming gig at The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. If i’m free i’m sure to check these bands out. They all sound pretty good. Why a swan? Why not a swan…

Off to work in ‘Spoons’ now. Excitement.

I am on the hunt for jumpers. There is no rationality to this love at all, but watch out, or you will be left in the cold.
A Staithes seagul has got his vocal chords out… as per usual, ready to wish a slightly belated 2010 to everyone!
Using illustrator and a simple, but vibrant colour palette, and my favorite, loose line drawing style. Breezy
