About Me
I grew up with pencils and felt tips in my hands and was drawing before I could dress myself. I'm still struggling to dress myself but the artistry has come a long way. Now I'm taking advantage of all the tools and media available to me and utilising what could soon develop in to a genuine OCD.
I'm a jack-of-all-trades, mastering some, dipping my toe in every bathroom sink. So if you're looking for an illustrator, a graphic designer, a thinker or web tinker-er, we should have a chat soon.
But please, stay a while to gander at some of my past imaginations. When you're ready, click through those ominous black squares or if you're feeling more exciting today, use the arrow keys on your keyboard!
Noks Ramaj
Collaborative logo design for collaborative record label 'Noks Ramaj', representing the strains but also the delight of creating music with a lick of awesome. An unusual blend of illustation and typography for an unusual strategy to music producing.
Collaborator: Mark Cardwell
Clevedon Pride
Illustration for a badge of Clevedon's clock tower against a pretty blue sky, evoking hope - I hope - for a brighter future for our little hometown. The badge is selling and is to be sold to all who care just a little bit about Clevedon.

Prevamp
I am involved with a design and communication agency offering a team of skilled professionals for work from branding to marketing strategies. I built the site as a testament to our principles of clean and efficient design.
View our collective portfolio at prevamp.co.uk and view what we're liking in design on our page on facebook.
Ryan Collier
Logo and web design for film composer Ryan Collier. That may look like a bird eating fresh berries but the mark is Tolkien inspired, drawn from his personal influences of big movies and big sound. The page presents a widescreen and filmic experience to showcase his aural masterpieces. A great fellow and highly commendable music producer in case you're ever in need.
Visit my design and his music at ryancollier.co.uk and you can follow his page on facebook.
Emmersun, Flake and Farmer
Mr. Emmersun seems, at first glance, a fairly respectable and highly dignified gentleman. He is not. He is the smelliest man alive. He was once in a band but now he just walks and walks...until I find some time to illustrate and animate his full story.
In the meantime, you may check out his band's music Myspace.
Ouija Birds
Elegant, sincere and enigmatical are the three words I used to inspire this logo for the Ouija Birds. It has a few magical properties that will be developed on in the future but next stop is some illustration to compliment these beautiful forms.
...And the logo.
I urge everybody to listen to the Ouija Birds on their Myspace and follow their page on Facebook.
KIS
Founding member of the Keele Investment Society, Joe Robinson approached me for a serious and respectable logotype. The society is still in it's early stages, so more to do in the future and wishing them the best of luck with it. Investment societies tend to take off in a big way, at least, that's the hope, right?
SWS Bristol Fringe
That there guitarist fronted the show for the South West Sound Bristol Fringe 2008. I illustrated a set of musicians and created that logo all derived from the 6.35mm audio jack. Most of the music of that night was also derived from the same jack, rather fitting then, I thought.
South West Sound is now a part of the Bristol Music Foundation, an organisation committed to protecting the future of the music sector in the South West, check 'em out.
The Hookers
Yeah, I was in a band and yes, we were named The Hookers. This is the logo for said band, proud of that. The logo, that is.
Venue Download
This is the mascot of Venue Download, illustrated for Venue Magazine and the Bristol Music Foundation's project to share free music with readers. He shows his face from time to time in the magazine, so keep an eye out! Also grab the free music!
