Catch-ups

Its been too busy! got time to upload some more of the stuff i have been up to the last month or so. 2 gig posters and tour poster / album print.

for names sake...

this is some artwork for the rather excellent song this blog is humbly named after. soon zooming and scrolling might be needed, still work in progress a bit, colours need sorting, it really shouldnt look blue

Pretty pretty colours...

Yes a small amount of colour breathes life into something that used to look a bit photocopied.

2am breakthrough

ok bit of a break through with the cd design. its inspired by star charts, and the tracks are listen concentrically

those left behind

so more work on packaging for the up coming light of words album, this a 1 variation, cd design coming soon.

alps

almost finished poster

Pretty things?

The logo i created for a music magazine which may never of been finished. Shame.

Nice Weather for posters

Some more posters for Nice Weather for Airstrikes Records, including there part in the upcoming Brighton Fringe Festival. i even go this lovely reference:

"Sam's work is always of an exceptional standard. Designs work perfectly with the NWFA brand, and are always delivered within deadlines and briefs. Even when these are of short notice Sam has shown a willingness to get into the project, and really deliver remarkable quality within time constraints and confines. The last project Sam worked on resulted in 10,000 flyers printed, and a magazine advert in 50,000 printed magazines in the Brighton area. Aside from the ad and promotion work, Sam's art has been used repeatedly by NWfA with various releases over the last year, including band posters, CD packaging and photographical work."

corporate goodness

This is some corporate work i did a few years for Worktribe, who do software for big companies like 3 mobile, and regional Police force (maybe if i can remember). its parts of a booklet to be sent out to lots of people.

business cards

Just a couple of business cards i worked on for the company i set up a few years ago. in the end though the demand for work was enough that we didn't need to print them. Happy ( and affluent ) days. 

Posters

A collection of gig posters i've done over the last few months, and i don't know why some of the text is blurred, and other stuff isn't. Nevermind.

A technicality...

This is technically an illustration. if you click on it, it gets bigger.

This is an image created for a uni project a while back, its been used by Nice Weather for Airstrikes Records, based in Brighton. Which is rather lovely, check them out here:

more stuff

Ok more stuff.

Another option for the Light of Words cover, i think i prefer this one, it seems to be a little more modern, while keeping a retro edge. Does that sound pretentious? Yes.

fresh and tasty...

Start of a new era?

nope not really, just more pictures somewhere else.

im just about to finish my illustration degree at the University of the West of England, where i have spent the majority of the last year 3 years not doing the right stuff. This is where i will be posting all those wrongs.

This is one of the many things i will be told eventually doesn't count as illustration, a work in progress album cover for Light of Words new release, expected in the next few months.
