Artist
Statement:
I draw my inspiration from all manner of things. There’s the usual
suspects of course music, pieces of art i.e. Turner, Nicholson, Pollock.
Pieces of design; check out the book Latino America Graffica, well worth
a scan. It really depends what I’m working on that dictates my focus.
I like to think that my eyes and mind are always open to new things, old
things; whatever’s there to be seen.

Review
This piece is a promotional poster for Creative Review to allow people
on the fringe of the art and design world i.e. hobby artists to know about
the publication. This would go into ad-shells at bus stops primarily.
I wanted the piece to have vigour and
fluidity.

These images are extracts
from a personal project. I created a dream diary with a twist, that being
the emphasis was on the visual aspects of my dreams and not the meanings
of them.

D&AD Glenfiddich
I created this logo with a younger audience in mind, to be precise ABC1
25-35. Glenfiddich required a product with Corporate I’D to sell
to this more ‘urban’ market.
I kept Glenfiddich’s original colours for the sake of brand familiarity
and drew inspiration from Water, Nike, Sony, Levi’s, Coffee, Milk,
and Bass Shandy & what I considered would be one of it’s closest
market rivals ‘Barcardi Twist’ shooters.

D&AD Glenfiddich
I wanted to create a product that would stand out from the other drinks
in fridge at the bar. The product holds a shot of Glenfiddich, a shot
of coffee, a shot of clotted cream and two sugars to level the flavour.
Instead of a normal bottle cap a peel off lid inspired from the wax seal
off the Glenffidich Single malt bottle was used. This was to emphasise
the creaminess of the drink.

This was a conceptual brief where I created a Corporate I’D for
a ‘green product’ for Shell Oil. The product was to be purchased
at Shell Oil garages and consists of a carry out three-course meal and
a drink of water. I think the name is simple, memorable and punchy. The
colours used are the Shell Oil red and yellow, for brand familiarity,
reversed.
