High Fidelity

Another illustration for my chronologically long and voluminously stunted series of book illustrations. This time, High Fidelity. The movie isn't amazing, but I really enjoyed the book. I think I've probably been a bit generous by giving the record shop a nice big window and spacious interior, but I wanted to emphasise how empty and cavernous it seemed to me.

Valentine's Day

I originally planned to do a sickeningly sugary illustration for Valentine's Day as well as this more sombre one, but didn't get round to that one... so you'll just have to imagine two teddies holding hands or something.

Value study

Part of my ongoing journey to study values/brightness and get better at accurately capturing them. This one's from a B&W photo, which I find much easier than using a colour reference.

Outlaw

Quick illustrative doodle, not much to say really, just mucking around.

Backyard cinema

A little illustrated invite I did for an outdoor movie night at my house.

Baby's First Book Illustrations

I wrote a picture book for my nephew as a birthday present/thoughtful keepsake/bribe for 'favourite uncle'/keep myself from getting into hard drugs project. I ended up working entirely digitally, it turned out pretty well.

Stained Glass

As part of a TV show I was working on, I was asked to modify a real-world stained glass window to fit the show's storyline and plot elements. Working from the existing window, I designed and illustrated a big chunk of "glass" which was then composited into the filmed footage. Who would suspect a thing?! Basically, the big soldier man is all my doing... the surrounding stuff is mostly real. Can't say I think much of the show, but I was pleased with the stained glass effect, and I had a good time in the process!
