Here's the first lot of artwork I've busted out for High Tide's incredible summer Lineup. High Tide run the legendary boat partys in Southampton and they have most insane lineup this summer with the likes of James Zabiela, John Digweed and.....CARL COX! I'm a lucky boy to be able to do the artwork for such banging events! Gone for a crisp and wavy look, with some small spot illustrations of compasses and all that boating malarkey....hope you enjoy bitches!

I LOVE DUCKS! CAN YOU TELL?

NAaaaarrrrrr!!!

SEXY SAX

2011-07-13T14:58:00.000-07:00

I decided to set myself a little day project this week, something involving Adobe after effects as i'm currently trying to train my brain how to use it. What i came up with was a cheeky animation set over live film. Its got sexy saxophones, a beach and a little smiley dude, perfect! The animation itself was done on Pencil, a free traditional animation program. I recommend to anyone who wants to dapple in some simple animation to download this, its really easy to use and you can get sweet results!

Make sure you watch it in HD if you can!


Heres the sketch the whole idea came from

In other news! me and my partner in crime Carl mallia had some good news this week, we got through to the second round of the GRT awards for a brief we entered last month. So were off to London on friday (we even get a free lunch,which i'm most excited about), wish us luck!

BILL CLINTON

2011-06-30T09:59:00.000-07:00

I spent most of my day on the beach with nothing but my moleskine and a pen. There is defiantly something about working in one of these books that makes even the simplest scribble look like a work of art. Artists like Mattias Adolfsson use these books to the max, and they look astounding! Ive set myself a task (while i try and sort myself an internship) to complete a double page a day, and maybe it will help me unleash all this mad shit that goes on in my head everyday.

Heres just a few pages from my moleskine sketchbook (that i have named Bill Clinton...?) To see some more pages visit my new Behance account, where ive also got most of my portfolio :)

IN OTHER NEWS

I found a nice spot for one of my exhibition prints in my new flat, check it.

SNEEK PEAK HOUSE BOAT DRAWING.

2011-06-20T18:22:00.000-07:00

I was back in my home town of Shoreham-By-Sea today, tis a beautiful place! Its right next to the sea and has a river running right though. I was walking along the river today which has an amazing amount of houseboats on the banks and it gave me some inspiration for a new image.

Some of these house boats are very small, you would have to be an elf, of a bad assed pirate to be able to live on one of those. My imagination ran away with me when looking at these micro house boats, and i came up with the idea of a boat in disguise, to fool the people (like myself) who judge these tiny boats by having a mansion hidden beneath the water.

This is what ive done so far, and im currently doodling the rest of the underwater rooms that lurk in the depths and showing whats them inside with some cross sections. When the image is done ill hopefully have a website up and running, so i can show it off properly. PEACE! Tarquin.

This house boat is fooling everyone! (work in progress)

FINAL!

2011-06-18T11:04:00.000-07:00

LOVE THY TABLET

2011-06-14T20:43:00.000-07:00

Last month i was approached by a fellow student Lucianne Soley at solent uni to produce a number of illustrations to go alongside her articles. I used this as an opportunity for more tablet practice! Think im finally getting the hang of it... (ive just got to remember not to pick up a permanent marker by accident and scribble all over the poor cyber doodling device, and wonder why nothings happening on screen...bad times indeed) I also got an article written about me in return for doing these which is nice! sooooooo, Heres a bunch of the images, enjoy!

POP COCKTAIL MENUS

2011-06-13T19:12:00.000-07:00

Hello beautiful people! So my final major project at uni has come to its climatic end, the show is still up in the old Bargate Center so pop in if you can! Time to take back this blog from my university and use it to explode your brains with my creativeness!

It was somtime last week that i started to think, "what the hell am i suppose to do now ive got no tutors to give me projects!?" Its quite scary and exciting times making my own decisions on what to do next. Its time for me to hunt down those projects, even if their from my Grandma, asking me to draw her favorite brand of muesli. (its Alpen, in case you were wondering)

Ive done one or two projects on the sidelines since i have finished uni, I was asked to produce an exciting black and white menu for the bar POP Southampton's new cocktails. So i used my doodling powers to produce this...

FRONT COVER

DOUBLE PAGE (click to see me big!)


BACK PAGE


a really terrible picture of the menu on Pops bar top, taken on a night out (i was probably wasted when i took this) Portfolio pictures coming soon.

again, more decent pics will be taken soon for my portfolio.

They were printed a couple of weeks ago, and im pretty happy with the results. tell me what you think, and why not visit POP and try some of these badass cocktails!

These are new and exciting times, got lots of plans, including a new direction to take my design work, so watch this space mon amigos!
