Bournemouth Prints

A little series I took into silkscreen. Illustrating the dying tourist scene that is Bournemouth Pier and its surroundings.

Albin Holmqvist

Some more very lovely work by the talented Mr Holmqvist. Loving his use of Typography. V. clever indeed.

I do like to be beside the Imax

Project based around the death of my hometown Bournemouth. Its seaside view is now scarred by a massive Imax. The original draw to Bournemouth's seaside is now masked by clubbing and university students. What happened to all its charm?

Albin Holmqvist

Just found this now by Art Director Albin Homqvist. Really relates back well to my Vous Parlez English series. Homqvist says of the project:An experiment based around language, if you take folkloric swedish sayings and translate them literally, will all sense be lost? Are there equivalent sayings in other countries?
Those where questions i asked myself when i created my contribution to the "From Sweden with love" exhibition that me and my friend Shahin Haghjou curated. They are also a lot more visual than mine. DAMN. Is making me want to return to the porject and expand on the idea though. Which can only be a good thing.

Museums Press

Some nice print work by Manchester based studio Museums Press. Jealous of those colour palettes!

Yellow Owl Workshop

More from my favorite print studio...The Yellow Owl workshop! So cute, their humor and approach to print always leave me wanting more!

I wish you were based in England!!!

Amazing paper works by British Artist Julene Harrision. Rob Ryan eat your heart out!

Vous parlez English?

A new postcard/ stationary set playing on things I heard over a recent ski trip being used in the wrong context by both nationalities. I decided to play on this and create translations of some colloquial phrases. Still working on them and need to design the packaging for them.

London reasearch

On my last trip to London to drop off a portfolio I had a longggggggg gander, as I always do at the stationary section in Selfridges. These were some of my favorite bits on sale. As well as this there are a couple of pictures of my mum's design studio. Some of my favorite interior designers and their books. Pattern has always been a large part of my life, so I thought I would give you a few references.

City Birds Tea towels!!!

Tea Towels ready to be printed!

David Prosser

I really like recent RCA graduate's subtle use of film. Im not an animation buff, so its more about the images created and the feel of the animation for me here. Sort of eerie don't you think?!

The Chase

Really liked this company after seeing it on a friends blog. I found this letter set particularly enticing and witty. A hairdresser in the downstairs and a seafood restaurant in the upstairs of the address. Genius!

Cross bred birds to be etched onto wallpaper soon!

Cross Bred Bird Prints

I started to play around with the idea of city birds cross breeding (doves and pigeons etc) and you could say I took it to the extreme a little playing around and making mythical birds that I then took into screen print.
