I’m very excited about this one. The work I’ve been doing for French Connection has started appearing on their Manifesto blog.
ROUGH
Work is too crazy for a proper blog post this week so instead I offer you an old rough that I have just stumbled across. I can’t recall exactly what this one was meant to mean. Perhaps it went with an article about modernising the banking system? I don’t know. Now the image has lost all meaning I find myself rather taken by the thought of R2D2 and C3PO as door to door salesmen. Something I may have to come back to.
THE TOBIN TAX LIVES AGAIN
Another recent World Finance editorial illustration. A graveyard of forgotten ideas.
SHUT UP SHOP
Another recent bit of editorial work. This time for World Finance magazine and an article, The Tale of Two American Economies, about a larger part of the economy made up by the small firms and self-employed workers that often go under the radar and are still in a deep and persistent downturn. Jobs that may be gone forever.
As soon as I get a chance some more of these World Finance illustrations will be appearing in the portfolio.
I’m curious to know how many credit crunch related illustrations I produced over 2009. I wonder if the Financial Crisis was worth it for me.
FRUGALICIOUS FOREVER
Another recent Research World illustration for an article about up-market shops pretending to be the most economic place to shop.
FOCUS GROUP
A portrait of your typical internet focus group for Research World.
FOOD ANTHEMS
A short while ago I completed an illustration for enRoute magazine’s November issue. Being their food issue I was asked to illustrate a rock band with food based musicians to go along with an article about food-themed songs. I suggested a few alternative ideas and in the end we went with the tape/spaghetti illustration above.
A copy of the magazine just dropped through the letterbox and reminded me I was going to upload the roughs here. So here you go. There’s something about these food characters I still quite like…
