Above The Benchmark

Here's a commission for financial company Hantz Group's magazine Above The Benchmark. The brief included a cover, two spreads and four employee portrait illustrations for various features in the magazine. Aside from the cover I was supplied specific photo ref to work with and wanted to make the digital collages all feel part of the same set with a consistent colour palette and feel. The illustrations hopefully combine the sense of business with the personal touch that the company represents. Thanks to Kevin Martin for entrusting me with the enjoyable commission. You can see the work on the main site here also.

Lidoverse Merit

Chuffed to pick up a Merit Award in the Uncommissioned category at the Hiii Illustration 23 competition for my ongoing personal project Lidoverse. Always nice to get recognition, especially for creative work close to your heart, so thank you to the jury. Here's my bit of bumph about the project.

Lidoverse - A series of personal illustrations and animations that are based on a local landmark called the Cliftonville Lido in coastal Margate, UK. The work re-imagines the modestly proportioned Lido in epic and miniature scale in an alternative seaside universe. One populated by abstracted takes on Margate’s architecture, signage, concrete promenades, coastal hazard markers and sea wall escape ladders.
