Cornish Chough Christmas

I love these Cornish chough illustrations on the Seasalt website, that have been posted as part of the twelve days of Cornish Christmas. So in place of two turtle doves we have two Cornish choughs. (Although there is clearly more than two in this!) Perfect as I have a soft spot for the bird thanks to Cornwall Film Festival.

Straight to Vinyl

For the last couple of weeks I have been working on the design for a 12" vinyl sleeve for Peter Parker’s Rock n Roll Club’s album, Straight to Vinyl. After putting the final touches to the design today, I cannot wait to see it in the flesh.

Of course, part of what makes the design is the photography. So I must tell you to check out Matt Hass who did the front portraits and Enrique Rovira who photographed the band recording.

You can pre-order a copy of the album from the record label, Those Old Records.

Oxfam Christmas

Should New Years have had an apostrophe? Does the day belong to the year? If in doubt, leave it out! Merry Christmas from Oxfam Stony Stratford.

FXU Facts campaign

Take a little wander over to my newly updated website to have a look at my latest project for FXU, a “Facts” campaign. You can also check out the UGM posters I designed for FXU fairly recently as well.

Christmas Trees

I designed some simple wintery tree cards. Coming through a letterbox near you… soon.

Band of Horses

I went to my first Band of Horses gig last night at Hammersmith Apollo. Even after wanting/waiting to see them for a good few years, they still managed to excede expectations. It was a nice change from my recent lively folk/punk gigs to enjoy something a little more laid back. But what I really loved about the show was instead of simply having their band name behind them on stage they had film clips.

Film clips of mountains, plains, lakes, trees, sea and generally beautiful North American scenery that match BoH’s music perfectly. I tried to take a few photographs of some of the backdrops but I’m almost certain there will be much better examples elsewhere on the internet.

Mirage Rock.

Check out the trees!

Seeeaaa.

FXU Union General Meeting

“FXU [Falmouth and Exeter Students’ Union] holds at least one General Meeting per term. These meetings are a great opportunity to get together as students and have a collective voice to really make things better for students’ university experience whether it’s mandating the Students’ Union to do something or raising important issues.”
– FXU UGM

Initially I designed the main poster for the Winter meeting, then based Spring and Summer’s posters on the first, with each having a different designated colour. Information can be updated on next year’s posters when needed.
