Brewery poster, clips and labels
The graphic design work I do for various breweries is very important to me.
I trained as a graphic designer, specialising in Illustration and after weeks of illustration work I always enjoy coming back to the discipline of design.
Plus I get to sample all the beers!

Vitamin Packaging
Orange, Echinacea and Elderberry – bursting with super-fruit goodness and healthy properties.
These three realistic illustrations were commissioned by a design/branding company for a well known high street supplement brand.
As soon as the products hit the shelves I’ll post some images of the pack design as they always look a little lost in isolation like this.
Meanwhile there are exciting plans afoot for a complete revamp of the Hot Frog web design which will incorporate this blog and much much more.

Beeble and Blink go global
My new app. picture book went ‘live’ this weekend.
Beeble and Blink’s first book of COLORS was published as a 5 page free preview on the Interactive Touch Books App site.
I had imagined that releasing it early as a free preview – showing the first 5 pages – might prove to be a very useful marketing tool.
My expectations were vastly exceeded when I realised that over 50,000 readers have automatically received it into their library this weekend.
Hence the frantic ratings. Ga Gunk which has done quite well in the 8 weeks that it’s been out has totalled 34 ratings.
In the few hours that COLORS was available it has already shot to over 100 ratings with the majority being 3 stars and over.
I must really put the hours in now to have all the rest of the book available in around 2 weeks time.
It’s a total joy to work on, so I’m hoping I can pass this on the the users in their experience of the book.
Wensleydale cheese label
Kicked off this year by finishing off a very nice job for the guys at Chilli Design.
The crop shown here is about a third of the total illustration which was a slight departure in style for me in an attempt to try and capture a certain look and feel required by the client. It worked well and should be seen up and down the country on labels. POS and van livery.
So, if in a few months time you see these cows and sheep flying past you on the M1, remember you saw it here first folks.
