Its been an exciting couple of months, having worked on some projects including a lightbulb sculpture for Time, a paper heart for Men's Health, not to mention a couple of exciting pieces that are soon to be revealled! Today the new issue of Wallpaper* is out with a cover that I designed for the Milan Preview Issue. It features a model warehouse setting complete with a hand made forklift truck and miniature furniture. It was a great little project and one that teamed me back up with the very talented Sam Hofman. We also worked on animating the set for the iPad version of the magazine. Check it out!

Well its been a busy start to the year so far. A couple of weeks ago the Peugeot TV commercial that I worked on was released and since then I have been working back on a couple of nice editorial projects. I have also been working on a project as designer/prop stylist for director Chris Sweeney at Blink for Nowness. Some more very exciting projects in the pipeline too. I just picked up the latest issue of Computer arts which I am profiled in this month (pictured).

Happy New Year! To kick start 2012 here is a still life setup that I worked on with Sam Hofman for Intersection. Continuing the publications ongoing theme of combining Mens Fashion with transportation, here is a playful piece that we put together using leather belts, cams and gears.

I was recently commissioned to work on a lovely and pleasingly odd project for CUT magazine in Germany. The feature article of the latest issue focusses on the topic of Guerilla gardening and yarn bombing. As a nod to Guerilla warfare I created a series of harmless weapons from various materials (some of which are edible). A jelly grenade, a feather blade knife, bread knuckle dusters; I created a total of 6 weapon models as well as my own take on the iconic Che Guevara image for the opener. I worked with the very talented Sam Hofman who shot them for me. Take a look at my portfolio page to see the project.

I have just added a new and very fun project to my portfolio. I was commissioned to create the cover image and interior feature spreads for the latest issue of Computer Arts. The feature article is 'Designing Mobile Apps' and so I decided to create a wooden toy style phone where the apps are represented as wooden blocks than can slot in and out and be repositioned. I worked with the very talented Thomas Forsyth who helped me construct the wooden phone frame at his workshop.

Its been a little while since my last blog post. I have had a pretty busy and exciting month. Aside from moving house, I spent a great week in New York for the ADC exhibition opening ceremony. Whilst across the Atlantic I met some very talented people and it was a great opportunity to catch up with some friends and clients too. Since I have been back in the UK, I have been working on a couple of exciting new projects which I can talk more about later this month. For now, here is a work-in-progress shot for a nice project I have been working on for the cover of the next issue of Computer Arts magazine.

My work is featured in an interesting new calendar for 2012. Designed by EIGA in Germany, the lovely publication showcases an international selection of artists and designers who have worked with food. Rather fittingly, my 'What Came First?" image can be found on the page where Easter falls in April 2012.

This month the brilliant 'Grafik' magazine features some of my work with an interview in the talent section.

After a bit of a wait, I can happily announce that I am a winner of this years ADC Young Guns! According to the press release: "The Art Directors Club (www.adcglobal.org), the leading organization for integrated media and the first global creative collective of its kind, has announced the 50 young creatives from 14 countries to claim the prestigious ADC Young Guns 9 title." Congratulations to all the other winners. I'm really excited about seeing everyone at the exhibition next month in New York!

I was asked to make a little piece for an exhibition called 'Now We do Shellac' by Wonderhammer. The exhibition which opens on Friday 26th August at Sassoon Gallery, will showcase a number of artists and designers reposes to the nails. The project was set up to explore the creative potential of nail art. I was sent a set of acrylic nails through the post and I couldn't resist covering them in...nails! They will come in handy for halloween I reckon.
