Things I’ve been doing
Logo commission
I was commissioned by the Sevenoaks Supper Club to create their logo for them. A short brief on the club with a request to make as much as possible of the initials resulted in a number of designs. They chose this one.
Creative hiatus
Three months since I updated? Good grief.
I am having to reach back to this Christmas card I designed for work which was sent out to all staff by our leadership. I was given a brief and asked to stick to the corporate branding. Those colours in the sky there that are supposed to represent the Northern Lights are part of our branding, as are all the colours in the crowd. I was quite pleased with this which I produced on Canva. The sky is reflected in the snow, the company is represented as a lighthouse and there are hidden elves in the crowd representing the company Partners. I love Canva, and by combining many elements I personally believe this was quite effective and met the brief.
Job done!
That’s it! 35 cartoons completed for the songbook project concluding with this one I drew today. I am quite fond of this, it has been an enjoyable creative experience and my client is happy so everyone’s a winner. Can’t wait to see it in print.
Red Kong Dong Coffee launched!
Vicky’s brother Will and his mate James have launched their own coffee, and they asked me to draw something to use as the packaging branding. Here it is shown on a mock up coffee bag…I haven’t seen a real one yet to know how close this is. I’m looking forward to tasting the coffee!

Hungarian Yellow Monkey
Yellow Monkey Emperor’s Classic of Chinese Medicine wot Damo and I wrote was published in 2016. In 2019 a Hungarian version followed courtesy of the good folks at lunarimpex. I finally got my hands on a copy thanks to my good friend Adam whilst in Sweden recently, and even better, Damo and I posed for a cheesy photo with it during a meal out with our partners Vicky and Roni.
Procurement and Supply Chain strategy and cartoon maps
My colleague Katie Deem has written an article on LinkedIn about strategy during a crisis for procurement and supply chain professionals. I illustrated it, and you can read the post on either of our LinkedIn pages.
Proud book dad
If you follow me on LinkedIn then you will be fed up hearing about this book. If you don’t follow me there then I have exciting news!
Our book was published last week and I got my copy whilst in the office yesterday. I was part of the cover design team, wrote one of the chapters and drew all the cartoons inside. If you are in the public sector then you need this book. Did I mention it has cartoons in it?
You can buy it on Amazon.
iPads make art in Royal Tunbridge Wells
I was chuffed to be invited back to the Royal Tunbridge Wells Art Society today to talk about producing art on iPads. I had a great afternoon sharing my passion for digital art with a very engaging group of artists.
Thanks for the tea and biscuits and I look forward to returning again.
