So Halloween is just around the corner, I am currently building a diverse catalogue of characters for use on various media. No doubt there will be some use for some of these chaps during this holiday period.
Character design.

The London Design Festival 2011
-'It's only right I should go'
Well I was pretty excited to be honest, but not the coolest thing to admit whilst down the local with the 'lads'.
I think I managed to cover everything related to the Design Festival at the V&A, trying to make logic of pretty bad layout to the guide wondering aimlessly at times. One of the main attractions 'The power of Making' was very insightful into modern conceptual design, but what stood out for me was the 'Brutal Simplicity of Thought' exhibition, showing the strength of simple but effective design through the times.
Now I've had a nice dose of culture....it's back to the pen!

Bad Kerning.
-'It physically hurts my eyes'
Having such a strong interest in the relationship between text and art, bad kerning is something that really irritates me to the point of having to resist altering examples from shop branding to road markings. However, it seems I am not alone.
Only a few pages into what seems a brilliant book, I find this little treasure.

Art that lasts a lifetime.
-'Embellishing the body'
To some, the ultimate form of customisation and enhancement. Both designs below are now life long.

Microphone character.
- 'Continuing a theme from the previous post seems logical'.
Let me introduce you to a character development of mine, Mike Ruffon.
One dull, boring and dreary weekend I upped paint and headed to the tunnel in Waterloo to lay down some fresh Aerosol art. Completely free-handed and with no preparation, I received great interest in Mike and several incarnations later he appears on various commissions of mine.

The beginning...(ish)
- 'It all has to start somewhere'
So this is the start of my blog, no ordinary blog, a blog showcasing not just my artwork but an insight into my world, my experiences and my creative appetite.
