THE WALKING DEAD – ILLUSTRATION

mmadmin01 — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:30:48 +0000

When they announced that the graphic novel series The Walking dead was going to be turned into a TV series, I was both worried and excited about getting my Zombie Fix. Worried that they could potentially spoil something I love but excited that I would get to relive my favorite novel all over again. Well we are half way through season 2 you can safely say that AMC are doing the novels justice and offering the readers something more. This like most of the illustrations I do is a nod to a ‘bloody’ great show!

MISS BUCKETS – LOGO

mmadmin01 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:49:07 +0000

Here is a lovely little logo I’ve done for a Cleaning company called Miss Buckets. The brief was simple the owner wanted and I quote “something that was going to bite her in the backside” (Must be a Northern saying?). With that in mind look how this little beauty scrubbed up?

SWAMP BEATS – ILLUSTRATION

mmadmin01 — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:12:54 +0000

With their usual designer missing in Goa – I hopped (bad joke) at the chance to do the artwork for the next Frogs in Socks EP which is being released on the mighty Fatboy Slims Record Label – South Fried Recordings. On most of the leading music store websites – thumbnails for these sleeves are often smaller than 100 pixels squared so its really important to make sure the information and design is clear in both large and small format. Good luck with the release lads!

PARIS – PHOTOS

The last time I visited Paris I must have been no more than 5 years old, so when I was asked to DJ on a boat I jumped at the opportunity to visit. It was also another excuse to test out my shiney new 45mm portrait lens. I have a thing for depth of field shots and now I could finally achieve the blurry look. Nerd talk the F1.8 captures more light so makes for some amazing night shots here are just a few from my trip.

HEISENBERG – ILLUSTRATION

mmadmin01 — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:26:55 +0000

Like the subject matter it covers I’m completely addicted to the TV series Breaking Bad. I cooked up this little illustration of Walter White aka Heisenberg using nothing but the purist blue Adobe Illustrator.

BITMONKEY – LOGO

mmadmin01 — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:25:28 +0000

Ian Dash is my go to web guy and in credit to him he’s always been happy to help… eventually! It was time to return the favour and create the branding for his freelance venture. After swinging a few ideas round we decided to go down the 8 bit route and to create something that was a little old skool.

VIBRATE – WEBSITE

mmadmin01 — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 09:20:14 +0000

A single page site that was designed for the guys at Lot49. The brief was simple here’s the text and some photos do your thing. With a healthy balance of images and text things started to take shape quickly but I wasn’t happy with just putting text for a logo at the top, so I did a little something in illustrator. This project took me the best part of a working day to finish. I was really pleased with the results and the response I got from Mark that the page looked “very professional” and that he “loved” the logo.

HIGHGRADE RECRUITMENT – LOGO

Just finished a new logo for Highgrade Recruitment. These guys specialise in teaching jobs, nursery & support jobs for schools, nurseries and colleges throughout the Wales.

NIGHTCLUB & BAR – FLYERS

mmadmin01 — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 12:01:00 +0000

With each brief completely different from the last its safe to say some of my most creative work has come from designing flyers for clubs and bars. Over the past 8 years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with BBC 1Xtra, S4C, Cardiff Students Union, Vodka Revolution (Regional) & O2 Academy Bristol. The majority of this work has been secured by approaching companies directly or networking with people via various social media sites.

GOTHAM VILLAINS – ILLUSTRATION

mmadmin01 — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:56:44 +0000

With the Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer out this week, it seemed only fitting to do a series of illustrations on some well known Gotham Villains.

CURB – ILLUSTRATION

mmadmin01 — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 14:39:17 +0000

I was recently bought season one of Curb Your Enthusiasm for my birthday and have been hooked since. Like anything that I become slightly obsessed with I always like to give a bit of a creative high five, or a tip of the cap! Adobe Illustrator was my weapon of choice, 5 hours later here are the fruits of my labour.

DWANGED – WEBSITE

mmadmin01 — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:13:04 +0000

Straight off the back of the Catapult Website I teamed up again with the very talented John Mitchell to create the front end of new website that allows building merchants to sell end of stock products at discounted rates. With the catchy name Dwanged a “Scottish Term” we set to work on a gumtree, ebay style, autotrader style website.
