Clubbing! (book clubbing)

A while back I started a book club and I didn’t want to be a loner with no friends so I made a poster to promote it. (That’s how you get friends right?) People actually came so I was pretty chuffed. We read The Tiger’s Wife which was excellent.

Jobs in Space

Is there are place in space for YOU? Recently I started looking into jobs in space.

(Can you believe there is no such thing as a space illustrator? I know.) We all know about astronauts, but they’re just the cool kids the space world. If you don’t happen to be a superhuman with 2020 vision, a pilot’s licence, a PhD and a hot bod, you can still help chip away at the final frontier. I created some illustrations to help you begin your quest…to infinity and beyond!

Donkey Heart Poster Design

In a break from the usual I was asked to come up with some quick sketched ideas for a poster for ‘Donkey Heart’ – a play by Moses Raine. In the end none of them were used, but you can see some definite echoes of my designs in the final version at the bottom 🙂 Also I got to buy a great book about Soviet Propaganda art so all worth it in the end. Here’s a review.
