A Productions Christmas Card

And here is this year's christmas card I designed for A Productions! 
Idea by Mr Paul Hill.... inside the card it says:
"Um... we may have overstated the word 'fun''

Skwigly Online Magazine Advent Calendar

Here is an illustration I did for Skwigly Online Magazine's annual advent calendar.
If you have never heard of it and you have an interest in illustration or animation you should check it out. Great articles and podcasts and industry news! 
You can see my picture in situ here!

The illustration was inspired by news stories of dodgy, badly put together Santa's grottos that pop up every Christmas around the UK - to the disappointment of many children!

TGI Fridays

Here are a couple of illustration from a series of 5 I did for an online TGI Fridays campaign called '100 cocktails as 100 works of art' with Telegraph Hill. It was quite a free brief, I chose a cocktail from a long list and had to come up with a visual to illustrate its characteristics.

This one has been made into a poster to put on the Ladie's loo doors! Will try and smuggle into the loos and get a picture soon!

Property Larder

 A painting I did last year, although I had the idea in a sketchbook for 2 or 3 years - only just got round to scanning it properly!

RSPB film with SEED animation

RSPB Change from Leah Heming on Vimeo.

A short film made by Seed Animation for the charity RSPB.
I was commissioned to do all the designs and typography on this project.
I used RSPB's corporate colours and a kept a limited colour palette for the design.
You can watch the shortened version here: youtube.com/watch?v=sttiky0dXPc

Here are a few stills:

 

Bristol, Bristol...

I haven't posted anything for ages! So here are a couple of paintings I did last year around an ongoing theme of my home-town's fantastic transport system...

You can purchase prints of these very soon here:

The Liver Song

A little animation made with Upstart Thunder - she did the animation, I did the designs.
The short features a dancing liver to the voice of the late Graham Chapman who tells us why livers are so important. 
Made for 'A Liar's Autobiography Animate Chapman Competition'.  Enjoy!

Animation Artwoks at the Loco Film Festival

So it's the Loco Comedy film festival in London this weekend (24th-27th of Jan 2013)!
There will a preview of 'A Liar's Autobiography' a discussion panel and an exhibition of the original artworks for the animation! Here is a sneak peek of a design I did for King Arthur next to the original crest from the 'Holy Grail' costume!

Bristol Old Vic Poster

A poster I designed for a children's play at the Bristol Old Vic. It got made into flyers, leaflets and program pages!
The original illustration had a purple background (see below) but they decided to change it to a lighter blue to tie into the Christmas period - I think it works nicely!
