Ant Creations and Tigers Family appearing in the Harborough Mail newspaper!

Here's a little piece that appeared in the Harborugh Mail this week. It's a screen grab from their website so here's a link to the actual site if you would like to read it, like it or share it from their site.

A few little bits of info not 100% accurate but hey ho, that's the nature of being in the press! And before you ask yes that's my office and yes the walls are shocking, bright pink! They help me wake up in the morning :) Enjoy!

Same Day Sam Character Design

Say hello to Sam. Same Day Sam is a character newly created to promote a plumbing company based in Pennsylvania in the US. He's going to be used to sell the fast, reliable and simply 'super' service that the company provide, and therefore the superhero theme seemed to fit the bill. I've added a few early sketches in the portfolio section so be sure to check them out if you get the chance. Enjoy!

The basic 'Bibo' in the glass design is used throughout the branding, but the text and layout will change for the different ways the logo will be used.

Winter Madness beer pump clip and advert for Langton Brewery

This new beer from The Langton Brewery will be on sale soon. I've created the pump clip using the same sheep character that first appeared on the Spring Madness beer pump clip. The mad, happy woolly one appears in a different winter snow jumping themed pose this time (Eddie the Eagle eat your heart out!). Below is an image of the final pump clip and also the advert I created to promote the beer which will appear on the front page of the Middleton Wholesale trade catalogue. Let me know what you think or if you see the beer or the artwork out and about in the real world. Enjoy!

 Eddie the Eagle got nothing on me!

Woodsman beer pump clip design for The Langton Brewery

I've just finished a new pump clip design for The Langton Brewery. The beer is called 'Woodsman' and the axe weilding character featured in the illlustration is based on John Kemp who regularly enjoys a Langton brew. John specialises in creating custom made knives and leather work and also supply's split firewood. You can visit his website at www.knyph.co.uk to see all the wonderful things he creates and supplies. If you see him about then say hello. Enjoy!

Happy Christmas Langton Brewery style

Here's a load of my designs and illustrations featuring on beer bottle labels, signs, packaging and pump clips, all promoting The Langton Brewery based in Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire. I took these pics whilst shopping for our family Christmas tree at the farm next to the brewery. An entire corner of the Christmas barn has been transfromed into a mini pub promoting all the fantastic offerings from the brewery. Apologies if some of the pics aren't exactly up to professional standards. A camera phone in a barn doesn't always produce the finest of results :). If you see any of the bottles out and about please send me a pic., I'd love to see them. Happy Christmas and enjoy!
