Other Rough Triumph Posters



This approach is different to the previous, not sure if its giving out the right message?

Triumph Idea





These are only rough but wanted some peoples thoughts on them, the idea for the posters is emphasising the benefits of getting a bra fitting with Triumph,

I decided to photograph soft and comfort looking objects- feathers, clouds and flowers and added a slogan in to tie in with a bra fitting

If anyone has any comments or suggestions then please let me know

London Competition



Still not sure if this piece is finished or not so thought I'd post it, think I've probably just been working on it for too long

The idea behind this piece is a pet cemetery in Hyde Park which is hidden away for the Secret London Competition, I wanted to illustrate how owns and pets can look a like to add a humorous undertone to an upsetting subject,

 If you have any thoughts or comments please let me know

Thanks for looking

Merz Prject- King Cosmos

This is a screen print which has being enhanced digitally, just wondering about background and text so thought I post it
Was thinking for the text to be placed on the flags saying 'king cosmos'?

The story is following my previous post from the three wishes story by Kurt Schwitters, this is the last wish as he had wished for World power, but yet again it all goes wrong for him (poor lad)..

Thanks for looking,
Comments welcome

Money can't buy you Happiness


The story behind this illustration is the man (above) has wished for wealth BUT it doesn't go to plan,
I thought that it would be appropriate to have to design of the illustration laid out as a cheque and around the man objects which are related to wealth that are broken, damaged etc.

I've also included things like the fish of wealth (who is going to get caught in a net), sun of wealth (who is unhappy as its raining) and coin of wealth.

Not my best screen print for technical reasons however I'm happy with the colour combination

Thanks for looking!! :)

Now on to his next wish WORLD POWER

Three Wishes Story

This is my first illustration for the three wishes story by Kurt  Schwitters


It is about a man that had three wishes and for his last wish he wished to be a fish but regretted it straight away as he had the same characteristics of a fish; he couldn't talk or even cry, just swim round like a fish.

The mime face symbolises the fact that he can't speak and so do the pins around the fish as they express the saying 'so quiet you could hear a pin drop'

The strips on the fish might be confusing but they show the fish wearing a stripy shirt like a mime does and dungarees.

The reason why I put houses, crowds and coins on the fish is from his previous wishes- wealth and power

Enjoyed the painting process and will be developing this more

Hope the illustration is more clear from reading this, thanks
