Good stuff

Stumbled across these guys via a newsletter they send out. Cracking workshop / brand / group of people. Worth having a look, and while you are there sign up for their newsletter as well. Deus.

Some fresh stuff!

Ive just added 3 new illustrations / T-shirt graphics to my portfolio. Click HERE to check them out. All of them have been done for the 2010 Killer ltd range. Im really happy with how these have turned out, and cant wait to see the finished products.

Killer Praying Hands 2

Sir Merlin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:24:37 +0000

The praying hands 2 shirt is a redesign of a shirt I did for Killer a few years back. The original was a single colour print and did very well for the brand. As it had been run for a few seasons they asked me to change it up a bit so that it still looked fresh in the range. I added bright colours as per the rest of the shirts in the new range, and then cleaned up the line work as well. I also added the roses around the hands which framed then and allowed me to add more colour. The changes gave the design a fresh look and helped it fit back into the current range.

Killer Panther Shirt

This was another tattoo inspired graphic I did for Killer Ltd. Their projects are always fun to work on as the subject material is always open, and the brand identity allows you to explore some interesting subject matter. As always I incorporated the Killer dagger icon into the image and used bright colours to contrast against the classic tattoo styled panther.

Killer Hot Rod shirt

This is an illustration I did for Killer Ltd’s latest range. Ive been wanting to do a Hot Rod illustration for some time, so when the brief for the new range came along it fitted in perfectly with their “Live Fast Die Young” theme. I chose to use red, black, and white for the print as they are classic hot rod colours, as well as complimenting these colours with classic pin striping in the background. The car its self was based off of a classic bucket styled rat rod, and I used the Killer dagger icon on the doors.

Yeow!

I grabbed this pic of my buddy Fraser’s desktop off Facebook. Yeow is a new project he is working on and if its anything like his previous ideas it should be pretty wild. I bashed out a quick logo for him as well as a few colour options (what you see in the pic) but its still very early days so things will most likely change and be refined as we go. Im pretty excited about this one, so stay tuned for more info!

“Deadliest Journeys” logo animation

Sir Merlin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 07:43:10 +0000

Some of you may have seen the Deadliest Journeys logo I did for an upcoming TV show in my portfolio. Well production guys sent me through a sample of my logo animated as it will appear in the titles. Im really stoked to see it in action, and cant wait to see some episodes on air. As soon as I get some teaser clips from the show I will post them up in here as well.
