MAY,13,2012 Because of a busy week at work and because of not seeing my family all that much I decided to relax a little with my drawing marathon and create one illustration over three days.

MAY,08,2012 Loving this story teller concept. Check out Blogger for more illustrations. |

MAY,07,2012 Had a flash of inspiration and with that an idea for a series of illustrations focusing on characters and story telling. Our sailor here began life as a sketch and then built up in illustrator. After which I added some texture using photoshop. Ideally I will be able to one of these a day but less than likely. So I plan to use this story telling idea within my day to day illustration project and then render a full one at least once a week. A larger version can be found on Blogger. |

MAY,05,2012 A weekly catchup for my other project of creative endeavor on Blogger. Incase you haven't been following, I have decided to draw one illustration everyday for one year. Simply because I love drawing and also it\s a great to keep the creativity in shape. Every week I plan to do an overview of work here but you can follow daily of course on the actual blog here. |

APRIL,14,2012 This has been a month in the making. My son's second birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks time and my wife and I thought this poster would be a nice present for him. Jack is growing up with two languages, so we hope this will also help him with his grasp of English. I will do an Estonian edition at some point for him also. |

MARCH,1,2012 Always nice to see the fruits of my labour. Earlier this year I illustrated this lovely lady for the Auberge Hostel in Montreal. Chloé is doted around the walls of the hostel to aid guests around various facilities and rooms within the establishment. Originally, the lovely lady here was loosely based on the actress Audrey Tautou. Being that the hostel is in French-Canada this was an ideal starting point for the look of the girl. To the left is the finished piece and below are the various outcomes and looks we worked on before arriving at the finished piece. |

FEBRUARY,26,2012 Infographics are in simplest terms graphical representations of information, data and knowledge. In my case, I have attempted to communicate a weekly training session I undertake (above) and the results of a BMI test I took in a Boots pharmacy last year (below). I wanted to create something graphically striking and interesting to look. What I didn't want was that styling to confuse the audience as some infographics can be hard to read and extract information. The graphical elements should be apart of how the viewer would understand and read data.

FEBRUARY,25,2012 Whilst me wife and son sleep on the sofa I started playing with my red and blue pen using only these colours to experiment with some techniques in character development. A bit of fun really. In a perfect world I might get paid to draw funny characters like this all day. I would miss designing though. |

FEBRUARY,21,2012 I though my wife deserved another design. Something a bit more quirky and stylish and more in sync with her funky designs. How many wifes can say there husbands have designed them their very own typeface? Luckily she likes it! Identity and branding stuff to come.

JANUARY,15,2012 Sylvain Chomet talks about animation from Sam Taylor on Vimeo. By far one of my favorite animators, simply because the core of the animation within his films as they are predominately hand drawn. If you like what you see here then check out his feature films The Triplets of Belleville or The Illusionist. |

DECEMEBER,9,2011 David Levine, the host of www.travelbrochuregraphics.com,
has very kindly put his collection of 20s and 30s travel ephemera on line for the world to enjoy. The collection is a homage to the graphic styles of adversing in Europe and Asia during these times. My favorite are the pieces that mix photos and graphic elements together. These images are very stylish and brave. I wonder if any designer today could get away with any of these ideas without the client getting panicky about what was going on. Cynical? Perhaps. But did these graphic artists/designers behind these works had clients controlling every aspect of the final piece? Perhaps there was more freedom and trust for creative types back then.
