Jammin

Threadless is great for collaborations, and a fellow member, Daniel Arzola, wrote to me with this great idea. Initially I thought it could be digitally created, but soon it became obvious that a photograph would be perfect. WIth limited equipment and resources we made this, and it’s something that I’m really proud of, as is Danny.

Radiohead

Radiohead have been a favourite band of mine for a long time. Though not since the beginning. I used to be a very blinkered Rock and Grunge music fan, then I met a sweet girl from Liverpool, I fell in love with her record collection more than anything else, she introduced me to Bowie, Van […]

I’ve been a Doctor Who fan since I was little – although it used to scare me. This was an experiment in working on a black canvas from the beginning, as the design evolved I wanted a point of light which came from the mouth. Instead of the strip of LEDs I made these into […]

Forever and Ever

I think this design must’ve subliminally came after the previous one, despite there being quite some time and a trip overseas between them.

Forever

A James Bond inspired visual gag.

“OoO”

Ever notice how ghosts look like speech bubbles? Scoring now at Threadless for the Threadless Loves Clever Challenge. Spoooky

Gloombox

I used to love my boombox, it sounded great and did loads of things. Looking at them now, they look like some alien creature, nowhere as simple and refined as mp3 players. This guy is all raved out and discarded.

Beyond The Sea

I got a new graphics tablet and wanted to draw something. Some religious beliefs say that when you die and cross to the other side, you get judged on your actions in life. Instead of being in the sky, I thought that maybe we get judged at the bottom of a vast ocean. This guy […]

Lifesaver?

For a Dangers of the Deep Challenge. When I think about Dangers of the Deep it always makes me think about films like Jaws, which are so good at creating a feeling of suspense. So that’s what I was thinking about when making this. You can make your own mind up on what is happening […]
