Evans gift card ideas

I work part time in Evans (the plus sized clothing store) and really wanted to design some gift cards since I started working there. Most of them I tried to keep clean and sophisticated. Some were more successful than others (the one with the figure probably being the only one I'd call a final) but I wanted to experiment a bit. The sizes were based off the ones currently being used.

Tiger

My favourite types of animals are big cats (or any cats really) so its a bit strange that, with the exception of the odd sketchbook doodle here and there, I haven't painted one in years. My friend also loves tigers so for her birthday I painted one for her. I kept a scanned copy so it's very likely I'll make it into something new once I've finished the gift card project I'm currently working on.

Deep Sea World

This work is based on a visit to deep sea world during summer 2012. I've had this project on my website for a while but never actually blogged it. So here it is, the first 2 images are finals and the rest is development and sketchbook work. The clown fish illustration wins the prize for the longest I've ever spent on one illustration but as usual the illustrations that were the simplest to make turned out to be the best.

 

 

Christmas Cards

These are some Christmas card ideas I did last month. I've really enjoyed illustrating them and can't wait for more excuses to make cards. Does anyone have a birthday coming up?

 

 

 

 

Portraiture

These are from a personal project on portraiture. It's going to be an ongoing project so there should be more to follow. The full project so far is on my website and Behance (yes I have a Behance now)

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Just some sketchbook work from while I was working on the Penguin awards competition. The brief was too design the book cover for 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' by Ken Kesey.

The Mad Accordion

I'm working on three poem illustrations for 'The Mad Accordion'. Here's two of them and some of the type (its all going to be done by hand). This should be completed soon so keep an eye on my website for the final work.
