Here’s the new-look Wallace & Gromit homepage that went live last week to coincide with the duos 20th birthday! I had the honour of designing the site and took great pleasure in sifting through Nick Parks archive of doodles & sketches to use for the ‘scrapbook’ feel of the site!
Wallace & Gromit are 20 years old today! To celebrate, they’ve taken over Google UK with their very own google doodle!
We’ve been real busy in the Digital department, preparing a very special splash page as well as a revamp of the W&G website, which I’m very proud to say that had the honour of designing!
Be sure to check our the special splash page which features our very own Katie interviewing the man behind W&G, Nick Park!
Happy Birthday lads!
Here’s the latest of another vinyl toy project of mine, ‘Shirley Creamhorn & Shithawk’. They an independently produced toy made with sculptor supreme Alex Avelino, who’ll also be hand-painting the figures along with his team. I’ll be selling them on my own store aswell as any other places interested, so if you’re a toy store that fancies stocking them, please do get in touch!
In the meantime, peep the above shot of a few of them, fresh from the factory, ready to be painted up! Hopefully the finished toys will be available early 2010!
It’s alive! It’s been a long time coming but I’m very happy to report that the brand-spanking new Fifty Fifty online store is now up and running!
With over 250 products, the store is jam-packed with dope footwear, apparel, boards and lots more. The store is in it’s first stages too, so it’s early days, with lots of future enhancements on the list, to make the store as easy-to-use as possible
Design by myself, code by Hype Digital. What are you waiting for? Go and treat yourself!
I’m very proud to show you this, my design for the identity of my friends new restaurant that’s opened right here in Bristol, called The Cowshed.
My friend and her husband have a real passion for this place and have poured everything into it. It shows as soon as you walk into the place, it looks beautiful
I’m really stoked to have been able to be involved in the place, creating a restaurant identity is something new for me, so really honoured to have got the chance to do one! It’s always nice to work in different styles and experiment, i always find you learn a lot by trying different methods & techniques.
You should pay the cowshed a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Yeahhh! Fifty’s ‘board of the week’ shows Bristols finest Korahn Gayle rocking one of my gold crest boards!
Yesterday I got sent some great shots of the printing-in-progress of my ‘Skids are for Kids’ t-shirt of the month direct from Howies printing HQ!
How’s that for speed: mocked up, printed, photographed, uploaded, blogged, tweeted & newslettered - all on the same afternoon, Howies don’t muck about at all!
The tee is now available in-store too so if you happen to pass by the Bristol or Carnaby Street store, pop in and grab a shirt - it’s a T-Shirt of the month so you’ve not got long to cop one!
A big thank you again to Howies for the opportunity, I’ve been a big fan of the company and their ethos, so it’s great to be involved in my own little way!
I’m over the moon to say that this is a t-shirt design I did for the wonderful Howies
I wanted to do something bike-related, as Howies are very fond of the two-wheeled contraptions, so I played with some phrases until I remembered my man Rich say “Skids are for kids!”
And the rest, they say, is history. Big big thank you to Mike and all at Howies for giving me the opportunity to get involved
You can buy the t-shirt online right now, in both Mens and Womens.
Really happy to show you this, my latest piece of identity work, this time for the lovely Team Rubber’s Viral Ad Network (shortened to VAN)
They wanted an ice cream van but with a bit of ‘edge’, well to quote the clients themselves: “needs to take a small turning and bang into the odd wall, run over a few children and then sell drugs to grannies behind Tesco for a bit. Then head to a carwash to try and look superficially respectable again and we’re done”
So here we have it, my superficially respectable ice cream truck :D
The kind folk at the new online magazine BRAINER interviewed me for their first ‘Creative Profile’ feature, have a read of it by clicking the link below. Thanks to Ian @ Brainer for the opportuity!
I’m honoured to say that I illustrated the new front cover of the latest issue (#129) of Computer Arts Projects magazine, which is on the shelves from today!
The crest graphic is a re-work of my original Coat of Arms for Fifty Fifty, with everything changed to nod at the design world, from the Unicorns pencil to the shield featuring the four tools of design. it’s all finished off with a popping colour scheme by art director Al Wardle plus a whole heap of metallic print to make it shine!
There’s also a 2-page feature inside the mag on how I created the cover, which was nice to explain how it all happened!
A big thanks to Al and all at Computer Arts Projects for the opportunity for the cover, you can get yours from all good magazine retailers from today!
More cheeeese P.O.S?
The Minnesota MC does a mean ‘Wallace’
Doomtree’s finest P.O.S. & Paper Tiger came over to the UK to support the King Blues on tour, and they came and played The Fiddlers here in Brizzle
They played an amazing set and along with my man Abjekt, they all crashed at mine so we treated them to a whistletop tour of Bristol’s finest spots - Magic Roll for a 1am dinner and Boston Tea Party for an 8am breakfast
Now then, if you don’t know about P.O.S. then let this educate you
