Pitch: Ralph Lauren store opening event. Client: Do-Tank Studios.
Pop Illustrated is an evolutionary project to create bold, satirical, pop surrealist, Euro-Manga, digitally manipulated art for print on big canvas or paper for display wherever you want. Fellow professional creative & olympic champion mud wrestler Ross Trower is also producing a mass of work for the Pop banner in-between his busy copywriting, kung-fu fighting, nude tree felling & freelance illustration career, all of which provide rich food for his ravenous imagination. Anyway, the subject matter will expand over time & I’m starting to take on private commissions to produce digital works for large prints in similar style.
Various commissions.
Product: BBC Jam (educational) Client: BBC
Characters & designs for the ill-fated BBC Jam. This was just a small part of the BBC’s efforts to provide online learning covering almost every subject in the British school curriculum. The brief here was to turn “live-action” (actors) characters from a short series of French learning films into cartoon characters we could use for online games & tasks such as putting together comic strips. Jam ended in tatters leaving a lot of contributors who had put their heart & soul into this fantastic project, utterly deflated. We believed in the project & speaking for myself, believed it would help children with their studies. It’s downfall was a great shame.

Some of the comic strips for BBC Jam “Les Choix” (see above), & how they looked as rough drafts.

Character designs for BBC Jam online learning games & animations, made in Flash. This was also for Jam’s French learning section. The brief was to create a series of characters from a fictional TV studio that students could use to make & edit their own short films in French.

I don’t think this was ever used, but I loved the job anyway.
