The Other Zoo

Down at the Zoo
Alternative album cover
Watercolours
Client: Too Many Cookes

Whilst designing the album cover for Mick Cooke's "Down at the Zoo" I came up with an alternative style using a more hand-crafted and elegant approach.
Using watercolours I created a bold, colourful, and striking cover, executed with a lighter touch.
Although the other cover I made was chosen, I think it is still worth exhibiting this one.

Down at the Zoo

The fabulous Mick Cooke of Too Many Cookes commissioned me to create an album cover for his forthcoming album for children "Down at the Zoo".

Have a listen to one of the songs here, I know you'll be on the edge of your seat waiting for the itunes release!  http://on.fb.me/joiMEp

Birthday!

Invite I made for my niece's birthday.x

Found sketches

These were drawn last  year whilst limbering up to make a film.  I still haven't made it, but hopefully some day I will.

Martin. We love you.

Martin's birthday was coming up, and what better way to celebrate than with a card (original, yes?). So in a fit of creativity I took the watercolours out and began.  My craftiness could not be contained and it was so that a pretty bow was constructed out of card to adorn the envelope.
Rather good, no?

PS I would like to add that Martin is a super photographer who was kind enough to take these pictures of my work.  His website is here: http://www.martinscott-jupp.co.uk/

Keyring delight

It's been a while and not much to update. I have just upgraded my keys and wanted to show off my new keyring!  Lovely isn't it?

Fetch me my Rifle.

Goodness me.  Is there anything more lovely than Rifle Paper Co.?
How I would love to paint like Anna Bond and have my own stationery line selling cards and envelopes, invitations, paper and prints on my delightful and pretty website.  Sigh.  This is the reason I am trying to paint with Gouache again, something that I seem to have neither the talent nor the patience for.

In the meantime I shall continue to eat the up website.  Please join me. http://riflepaperco.com/
