Nordstrom Holiday Campaign '09

2009-11-27T02:05:00.000-08:00

This year I worked with Nordstrom again to help create the visual feel for their Holiday '09 Campaign.

Initial sketches and developing ideas.

The giving tree.

Holiday bag.

Holiday ornament.

Backgrounds: These were created as uber big files to be used within the window displays. Uber, uber big files.

Birdhouses, and the interior of a birdhouse.

Downloadable birdhouses. Nordstrom's design team did a beautiful job at creating these designs from my existing images.

Gift cards, gift tags and other bits and pieces.

Screen shots, animation and links.
You can download the gift tags and 3D bird houses for free here: http://bit.ly/4gt80p

A trip to Norfolk

2009-09-07T03:10:00.000-07:00

I went to stay with my friend Anna in Norfolk the other day and we made bling out of our art work. The waiting room at Anna's local train station is decked out like a lounge, with books, arm chairs and ambient lamp shades, making it the best waiting room I've ever waited in.

I made a montage of the trip.
It was lovely to hang out with Anna again as I don't see her that often now I'm in Bath. She was my dancing buddy in Cambridge. We'd avoid the main street clubs and head to the Manky Kambar instead, where the floor was gross and the drinks were even grosser, but the music was great.

The Snow Princess

2009-09-01T10:58:00.000-07:00

Here are some of the spreads from The Snow Princess, which is due out next month.
The story is about a princess who has her heart turned to ice by an angry Snow Fairy. Forced to live in an icy castle for fear of her heart melting the snow princess seeks solace in her fuzzy companions, namely a polar bear called Arthur.

Illustrated by me : )

These images were created for a German medical magazine exploring the function of the nose. Commissioned by Werbewelt.

Wonky Brooch

2009-08-08T07:22:00.000-07:00

Last night I made some greeting cards and a wonky brooch.
I was pretty happy with how the brooch turned out until I realized it was designed for landscape images and usage! The pin on the back is positioned off centre so when you wear it vertically it leans slightly to one side. Ho hum. I still like it though : )

Half Baked Updated

2009-05-21T05:54:00.000-07:00

(This image has been updated. Ginger and Stealth are now holding lollipops instead of feathers and sage)

Here is an unfinished picture. It will get finished one day. I have lots of commissioned work on at the moment so there is no time to play with personal projects.

This will eventually be a picture of Ginger and Stealth smudging a tree of cranky spirits and bad mojo. The rainbow sprite has already appeared which is a good omen for the pair!
