Soul Sisters




I was briefed by Lindiwe Suttle to create a new poster for an upcoming gig she was doing with Meri Kenaz. She explained to me that it was a Rock n Soul meets Folk n Soul gig, and that she wanted to see contrast in the poster. So i decided try an illustration route here as opposed to a photographic route, using the guitars to represent the to performers. There was alot of back and forth on this but think we got something good in the end.

Maybe one day...




I have always loved skateboarding, and always wanted to do a skateboard series. So when Adrian Day told me he had an idea incorporating some old skateboarding toys he had, i jumped at the opportunity, we got together and shot these toys on an infinity curve, and Adrian broke out his copy writing skills, the result was 3 boards commenting on a corporate worlds abduction of skateboarding along with some awesome examples of "engrish", all too small to be read from the picture. So here they are:

Pink Board: Best in begin starter to USA Championship.
Blue Board: Making politely best american roller skating since many years.
Orange Board: For action of best health and successful.

Unfortunately the boards never went further than our computers, but we had a good laugh doing them anyway.... maybe next time.

Rock N Roll



I got a call the other day to the branding for and events company by the name of Rock n Roll events. I have been really enjoying playing around with a vintage look and feel, so i decided o take that route here. Above is a business card design for the company.

Custom Craft






This is a logo i did for a friend of mine, he decided to go it alone and start a shop fitting business.

99 Bottles of Beer...



This one was for Brewers & Union again. This time to advertise a series of music acts which would be playing at the bar over a few weeks. Again taking beer and music as the main themes (99 bottles of beer on the wall) i came up with this... Hope you like it.

We Love Real Beer


Brad over at &UNION asked me to come up with a logo / identity for the Real Beer Initiative which is a collaborative effort between Jack Black Beer and Brewers & Union. So after much discussion and trying different roots we went for something obvious but right. So paying homage to Milton Glaser we developed the "WE LOVE REAL BEER" logo. We printed T-Shirts as well, available in white and black.
