4O5 Album of the year

Last week I had the pleasure of working on a project for 4O5 Album of the year '09 with the lovely Ciara Phelan. It was a fun few days and I am very pleased with the results.

Richard's Badge

I haven't been posting much over the last few months, mainly because I have been working a lot. But excuses aside I plan to post a sketch/mini illustration everyday, probably with no explanation to save time.

Dual Meaning


This is an image I created a while ago for a poster that never went ahead, which I was reminded of when I saw Marmites new crisps adverts.

Idn

Some of my work can be found in the new issue of Idn magazine, 'Illustration special: Drawing on natural talent'. Along with other Brighton graduates Jim O'Raw and Dima Azem.

White Lights

A quick type treatment experiment.

Boxed Music


I have been making music for about 4 years roughly, (with my own myspace page and everything!) under the name of Boxbot. I've never learnt to play an instrument apart from in the days of junior school were I could play puff the magic dragon on the clarinet. But recently my PC containing all music/noise files had a like hissy fit and nearly died. Lucky I was able to save everything before it gave up. This traumatic event inspired me to create a little 'best of' so to speak of all the electronic beeps that I have tried to master and shape into music. I have designed a case for this CD and I am at the moment working on getting it printed, nicely. So until then enjoy this treat that I'm pretty sure I made in about 10 minutes (Can you tell?).

Bingo Sisters


THE BINGO SISTERS EAT TWO A DAY,
WELL THAT’S WHAT THEY USE TO SAY.
SO I THOUGHT I’D JUST TRY ONE,
BUT THEY KICKED ME UP THE BUM.

SO I STUFFED TWO MORE IN QUICK,
BUT THAT MADE ME VERY SICK.
THE BINGO SISTERS STARED AND SAID,
'YOU ARE LUCKY YOU’RE NOT DEAD'

BY THE SHOUTY MAN!

Octopus

Here is a little idea I wanted to experiment with after seeing a coat hook and its shadow. Also octopus are just strange, amazing creatures, that are highly intelligent, fun to draw and eat sharks! (watch vid).

Mind walk

Well I have been trying to be good lately and draw as much as I can. I have to admit I need to try harder, but here are some of the results from my little drawing excursions.

Where the Wheel Belongs.


I have been very busy the last few weeks interning at Anti Apathy, helping out with a few projects and that. But have found time for a little wondering and photo capturing.

Junk Mail. Abstract poetry.

This is a beautiful, moving and the most truthful bit of literature that I have ever read. Sent to me in the form of junk mail.

'Separate, loiseau, who was unsteady on his feet nannie is
the permanency and copes in emergencies. Dr. Wade! Faltered
the old man, with a perceptible why not let me help you?'
he sat up and looked have been difficult to detach its figure
from.'

It has so many layers.

Snow Day!

I have been very productive to day, joining in on my little brothers excitement over his snow day off school. We spent a fair time constructing a beautiful snow house. I think I might sleep in there late.

Stereographics

When in my final year I worked with the excellent graphic designers Ciara Phelan and Tom Rowe on a pitch for the University of Brighton 'Open Day' poster. Which can now be found in an exciting book from Victionary called 'Stereographics'. Check it out!

The Sorrell Foundation

Image copyright Sorrell Foundation
On monday I had the opportunity to visited the Sorrell Foundation and sit in on one of their workshops. The Sorrell Foundation empower the voice and opinions of school pupils in the design or refurbishment of their schools. The pupils create a brief which is set to architects and designers. The issues raised from the school pupils range from bully in toilets to how welcoming the reception is. The Sorrell Foundation view the pupils as clients, which is a refreshing approach to design.
