Working closely with TAG Heuer’s eyewear division in the US, I created a design which emphasizes the high end look of their products while retaining Tommy’s classic ‘Scallops’ and graphic elements. I used the ‘simple’ TAG Heuer shield which is normally seen on watch straps and eyewear arms as a graphic device. Continue Reading

The arc’s work particularly well on the side of the Z4 although the oversized number panel proved to be a bit of a headache, but we managed to create a design which doesn’t look too busy despite so many sponsors. Continue Reading

One of my recent commissions was for an Aquatic Bedroom mural for a lucky three year old. The Wall featured many pre-school characters including Nemo, Cars 2, Little Mermaid, Team Umizoomi and Octonaughs. The mural was produced with Tester Pots, Acrylic Paint and Graffitti Paint and Pens.

Porsche 918 RSR Retro Liveries

Way back in early 2011, I was working on vehicle customisation for Need for Speed The Run. EA had managed to obtain the rights for the Porsche 918 RSR Concept car which had been previewed earlier that year.

It took a while but they eventually agreed to the three above, Hippy, Porsche Salzburg and the Pink Pig.
