The guys over at WhenTheyGetOlder.co.uk have just relaunched the site. The redesign was done my good friend Jimmy Greenwood, and features a bunch of new illustrations from yours truly. Here's just a few of my favourite.
Usually the first sketch of any project a mess of unfathomable lines and shapes. In this (rare!) instance the first sketch turned out to be pretty close to the final project. This literate little chap is part of a suite of characters for a primary school. More details coming soon.

A few years ago I did some sketches of scenes inspired by book four of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. I was always pretty pleased with the tone of the sketches but they were very rough (and had a crazy halftone thing going on). With some free time on my hands I decided to vectorise the sketches and use them as the basis for two Dark Tower inspired book posters. Purely for fun of course.

I have mixed feelings about jobs that bite that dust. On one hand you toil away at something only to have it spurned by budget cuts or some such, but on the other hand you get to create something. And can that ever truly be a bad thing?
The illustration here was created as a proof of concept for a chain of youth hostels. Each floor of each building would have a huge graphic panel telling the story of someone or something key to the hostels host city. Whilst the project never really left the ground, the illustration was fun to put together.
