New Scientist Cover no.2



Another cover for New Scientist, on electric cars and their future. Ever noticed that most electric cars are ugly as sin? Apart from the Tesla, so the commission required more of a 'lads mag' look for the cover, with a sporty-looking, sleek motor. I built the car referencing a couple of different supercars, nevertheless the front half still ended up looking like a Ford Puma...

I don't just do black you know...




Here's some recent images, 3 of a series of 6 with a 'light and pale' theme.

Blog updates...

I'm going to try to update this damn thing regularly from now on....!

Darker Matter




I recently completed a couple of illos for New Scientist magazine for their cover story on Dark Matter and Dark Energy. It was a really nice job to do and the art editor was a delight to work with. I also got a couple of emails from people about the images, one a Physicist working on one of the experiments mentioned in the feature asking if he could use them in his public lectures! I was delighted.

Grand Prix


Just found out that the three Tide Ultra ads I worked on have won the Grand Prix in the Press category at Cannes. It was a very good idea by the creative team at Saatchi NY and the final ads turned out well I think.

Gold award at Cannes

I'm very pleased to say that an ad campaign for Tide Ultra detergent for which I produced the 3D artwork has won a Gold Lion award in the Outdoor category at the Cannes International Advertising Awards 2007. You can see the other winners at the Cannes Lions website.

These ads were used on billboards and in print in the US and consisted of thousands of posed characters. I'll be adding high-res versions to my site gallery soon.

Edge Magazine Cover


I have just done a rush cover for Edge magazine, their cover story fell though so they needed something done quickly. We had originally planned to comp the icons in on a photo of a new Russian-designed keyboard (Art. Lebedev Studios) that features organic LEDs in each key (OLED). You can see the keyboard at their site Here

We didn't have time to wait for a high-res photo from the designers so I had to do the whole thing in 3D. Here's the cover illo (mocked up with the Edge logo):

Visualization for The Daily Telegraph


I was commissioned by The Daily Telegraph to create a 3D visualization of their new news 'hub' in Victoria (that's in London UK). this was done in an incredibly short time and a massive rush and I'm quite pleased that it turned out like it did, it could have been a disaster! It was commissioned Sunday night (!) the image was supplied Monday afternoon and the job was in print Tuesday morning. That's the fastest job I've done yet. In the rush I didn't notice that the OSX desktop texture on the big screens were upside down.

Here's the link to the story on the Telegraph's website although they lightened the image though it didn't need it.

The image also turend up in a few other publications including The Guardian, The Press Gazatte (a press industry paper) and even Private Eye (as a gag about there not being any journalists in the Telegraph's news hub :)

Some new images...



Just some eye candy
