What A Way To Travel 7″ Sleeve Design

This is a record sleeve design for DJ Shadow as part of Secret 7”s project for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Please have a look at it and vote for it on Talent House’s website.

The project will culminate in 700 uniquely pressed vinyls (with a limited edition of 100 covers for each artist’s single) to be displayed in an art exhibition at Idea Generation Gallery in London, Shoreditch in the week leading up to Record Store Day April 2012.

All Secret 7” singles with chosen artwork covers will be available to purchase, but none of the buyers will know who has created the sleeve, or even which song it’s for, until they are holding it in their hands -­ the secret lies within.

Fun with R

   

I’m doing some type work at the moment and having fun messing around with colours and layouts. So here’s having fun with ‘R’

The space between you and me

 

Learning beyond the classroom

When I trained as a secondary school art teacher we had to do a module on learning beyond the classroom. Developing students awareness of resources outside of school is very important and sometimes gives them an opportunity to explore a place they otherwise would not have visited.

These are some of the images which I made using elements of other peoples work in my group. We produced a fold out booklet about our investigation into learning beyond the classroom. In our case we chose to look at the facilities at Holly Lodge in Richmond park, which cater for children and adults with special educational needs.

One of my drawings was used to illustrate an article in Beyond Berlin. You can read it here:

Rivers of the World British Council Project

This is the image I produced for the British Council’s Rivers of the World project in conjunction with Tiffin Boys School in Kingston. The school is paired with a school in Thailand and each school produces an image based on a theme connected with that counries main rivers. The Chao Phraya river and it’s culture was the theme for my image, which will be made into a banner and hung along Southbank as part of the Thames Festival this summer.
