I’ve been slowly putting together some book covers around other jobs and heres the latest, Gulliver’s Travels. Theres so many iconic scenes out of this book, it was more of a challenge than you might think to do something new with it.

Redid the type on my Brave New World cover this afternoon, after struggling with how it looked before. In the process I’ve inadvertently made the whole thing look like a Netflix postcard.

Another rough I worked up in a quiet spot last week. It was originally for an article on Icelands recovery after letting the banks fail. The colours were different, but I wanted to try something a bit more spring like with the recent positive turn in weather.

I was asked by Grantland to do an image on horse deaths at the Grand National. There was a 24 hour or so window to get the work done, but its great to see something published so quick. You can read/see the story on the front page of http://www.grantland.com

Messing around with photoshops ‘timeline’ function one afternoon. I think I’m still on the fence with the whole animated Illustration thing.

A couple of weeks ago EDGAR magazine asked me to do a piece for a great article on brain augmentation/chips. I wanted to delve into some of the issues surrounding the choice to augment or not and some possible social issues that might arise. The brain chip could be a kingmaker, a way to further polarise the class devide.

The roughs that went with the Tomb Raider launch print in my previous post. These were slightly more worked up than I would usually do for my editorial work as I suspected they might be passed around a few marketing types.

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to do a piece of work for a limited edition print to go along with the Tomb Raider launch with some other great artists. It was a real treat to work on!

They will be available from www.tombraiderstore.com from tomorrow as well as the events themselves in San Francisco and New York.

Many Thanks to the AD Marc Scheff

I just got an email from the house of Illustration letting me know that my entry into the Folio Societies Brave New World competition is in the top 25! Exciting stuff. You can view the other shortlisted entries here

It was really nice to take a swing at some narrative work and spend more than 2-3 days on a project, which is generally the turnaround for my editorial work.

Anyway, it seems like an age since I made these, so its great to finally be able to show them.

Heres a really fun piece I got asked to do for the New York Observer at the beginning of the month. It’s probably the quickest I’ve had to get an image done for press. It needed to be done in a day plus some bonus hours for being on UK time. Anyway, great fun working on this one, Thanks Ed!
