FILM and MEDIA AWARD
Posted on May 30, 2012
As part of my pedagogic practices I have been asked to design the Certificate/Award for the Film and Media Students at the Henley College. These are hand pulled screenprints, gold ink on heavy black stock.
I challenged myself to ‘keep it simple’ taking inspiration from the wonderful Seb Lester.

Rick Griffin Text Experiments
Posted on May 30, 2012
As part of my ongoing fascination with this Great mans work, I have been occupationally trying to find a digital formula to create Griffinesque text without the need to hand render the linework.
It’s the graphic equivalent of alchemy, turning lead into gold, of course its impossible to capture Griffin’s beautiful nuances of line and deft of touch but the basic structure is almost there.
I just wanted to share with you where I am at, the Holy grail would be to be able to use this Griffinesque text in Graphic work at the touch of a button… not there yet!
Using an edited FREE font ‘Hendrix’ here is the result from rendering 3D text in illustrator and stroking the gradient once the tonal values have been expanded. The offset tool is used to create the lettering border. ‘Bad Acid’ is also a great Rick inspired FREE font.

Unofficial Victorious Vintage Dodgy Afterparty Poster
Posted on May 4, 2012
Here is a new poster I drew for the ‘Unofficial Victorious Vintage Dodgy Afterparty’ at Club EQ Southsea.
The the drawing is of HMS.Victory famously Lord Nelson‘s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It is one of the major attractions down in the Historic Dockyard, Portsmouth where the Victorious Vintage 2 day festival is taking place. Headlined coincidentally by DODGY on the Saturday and the LIGHTENING SEEDS on the Sunday.
