Manchester Hip Hop band The Mouse Outfit are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to help them buy a tour bus. There are some great rewards on offer, including four new Mouse Outfit t-shirts, one of which I designed (see above). Head to their Kickstarter page and pledge what you can so these lovely dudes can embark on a mammoth UK and European tour.
Another job in conjunction with those wizards at High Rise Murals. This time it was a super quick illustration job for Microsoft/Nokia. They needed an image of a band playing on the screen of the new Nokia Lumia 930, which the High Rise Mural dudes would then paint onto the outside of the Barfly in Camden. Look how big it is! And there are two sides to it! It looks to have been a mammoth job getting it painted up there. Here are a couple of progress pics, with more on High Rise Murals’ Instagram.
I was asked by Monorex to produce some sandwich illustrations for Greggs bakers for their recent Fresh Billboard campaign.
Over the course of a week, each of the sandwiches was painted up on a huge billboard on London’s Old Street by the dudes at High Rise Murals while onlookers tweeted Greggs, guessing what the new sandwich could be to win prizes. Yummo!
I was approached recently by a lovely local dude called Gaz, to produce some images for his Twitch channel. Gaz, (AKA Break71) plays Day Z (a sprawling, multiplayer, open world zombie survival game), streaming live, five days a week to his 7000+ followers. He needed three illustrations – a main image, showing him dispatching an approaching horde, an ‘Offline” image to display when he’s not streaming, and a “Setting Up” image featuring a TV screen where his live webcam feed can be shown.
Gaz is looking to set himself up as a full time streamer (people can actually make a living from this! It’s like the future!) so if you’re into this sort of stuff go and have a look at his Twitch and YouTube channels, and if you like what you see you can donate or subscribe so he can keep doing what he loves!
