A long overdue update!

As promised, I’m back to update the blog with various projects that I have produced since June last year. Firstly, I have a piece of art that I worked on for a family friend, requiring her grandson Murray to be turned into a wizard in the Harry Potter universe. The final piece was printed in A3 on 250 gsm card. This was the first Harry Potter themed project I’d worked on but as fate would have it, it wasn’t to be my last of 2021.

Shortly afterwards, my next piece was also Harry Potter themed. I was tasked with turning Sarahanne into a Hogwarts witch, specifically for her 30th birthday. This was a great little project to get involved with & allowed me to explore the Hogwarts theme a little further. The final piece was printed in A3 on 250 gsm card.

I recently got permission to publicly display my past logo work for Moorlife & Moorbeauty, both based in New York. On this occasion, the work was left uncoloured as the company opted to complete this part themselves. We do not have the final coloured logos but will share as soon as they become available.

 

I created these fun little designs as Christmas/Halloween posts within my local community- these were not created commercially. These designs are based on the urban legend in the village of Twechar that a bear lives in nearby woods (known as the Coachie) supposedly named after a headless coachman, yet another urban legend.

 

 

Additionally I created a logo for BBM in Buffalo, New York. At present that design is still under an NDA so as such I still can’t say much about it or share images of the completed piece but will update on it as soon as it is cleared.

Finally, I am happy to say that another project, for a wedding, is nearly able to be shown off and I will update soon. This project was previously hinted at as a Scottish project.

So, as mentioned above, the next update will feature a wedding piece & I will also take that opportunity to update on what I have planned next.

Elias has arrived!

Hi everyone, it has been a mental few weeks, just trying to wrap up projects & clear my schedule for my son being born.

We welcomed our son Elias into the world on June 23rd at 11:45 - coincidentally enough Elias was Walt Disney’s middle name. He is doing great, he had us all worrying for a little while, needing some extra TLC in Special Care, but he has came through it now.

As stated on a previous post, I was working on a football related piece, which I can now reveal as the piece below. The work features Scott Brown and Billy Mcneil, two influential captains and players during their time at Celtic FC. The effort that went into this artwork was huge seeing as there are four separate elements - each of which could be their own featured print. In the end, I am happy with how it has turned out and have a few ideas for what to do with it.

 

 

I will now be taking a break from any creative work for the next few weeks as I focus on settling Elias into our home and taking care if him. I have two other projects that I need to wrap up so these will be my priority once I return from paternity.

I will also be focusing on completing the animation that my oldest son Logan & I were previously working on. 

As I also mentioned before, I have been sketching some character designs too, so I have included these below too - they may one day find themselves being digitised in some form, as past sketches have.

 

Until next time!
