Captain Pugwash & Scrufts - An Alternative Dog Show at The Boathouse

Captain Pugwash was born out of another new poster for The Boathouse, Falmouth. For their alternative dog show, Scrufts, I had to come up with something nautical and fun, Pugwash seemed appropriate. Anyway, I felt he didn't get the attention he deserved sat on the boat so I made him into a piece on his own.
















This is the original poster he came from:

Pulp Fiction Night at The Boathouse

I've just finished this new poster for The Boathouse's Pulp Fiction evening, coming up on 2nd July. I've really enjoyed having a pre-defined template to work against in order to create a parody poster. We may see more of these cropping up in the near future. I fancy taking on more of my favourite films

Birdwatching: The Big Day - The Boston Globe

This piece accompanied an article in The Boston Globe about a woman who gets dragged along by her enthusiastic bird-watching husband on his Big Day (a birdwatcher’s attempt to identify 100 different species in 24 hours.) Needless to say she finds it all quite boring.

Vodka in Siberia - Contagious Magazine

In Contagious Magazine, Martin Lindstrom recently discussed the advantages for Brand Managers and CEOs to explore target markets first hand rather than staring at countless charts and graphs in order to direct their marketing strategies. The article focused on a trip Lindstrom had taken to Siberia where he spent his time drinking vodka with the young locals. This is the image I produced to accompany it.

Biomimicry - Diplomat Magazine

This latest piece was produced for an article in Diplomat magazine about the advantages of biomimicry. Some spiders building the tensioning wires on a bamboo and liana suspension bridge fit the bill quite nicely.

The Greatest Betrayal - Sydney's Child magazine

My first job over in the land of Oz, this piece was created for Sydney's Child magazine (also rolled out in regional variants in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and so on.) The article spoke about the devastating effects of bringing a new child home into what was previously a 1-child family and the feelings of betrayal that the eldest child feels.

Obviously due to the magazine's readership it forced me to be a bit more "mum-friendly" with it than I would usually approach things.
