Vector illustrator and designer...Hello! As you've hopefully deduced from the title above, this site is dedicated to showcase my work on the world wide web and also explain a little about the kind of illustration and design that I create. My name is Nathan Shelton and I have been drawing and doodling cartoons as long as I can remember! I have a passion for creating funky artwork, cool characters, unique illustration and great design in general! I've been running Ant Creations the business since I started illustrating professionally in the year 2000, and am now based in Market Harborough, Leicester in the UK. Anyway enough with the reading, have a look around, check out my blog below and my work throughout the site, and if you need to get in touch I would love to hear from you. Kick back, relax and give your eyes a treat. Enjoy!
Monday, May 28, 2012 at 2:22PM The Queen will be celebrating Her Diamond Jubilee over this next weekend. The Langton Brewery have created a special beer to commemorate the occasion and I have had the pleasure of creating the artwork below. I'm not sure if Her Majesty enjoys a pint but I'm sure she would like this one! Let me know what you think. Enjoy!
Friday, May 25, 2012 at 4:07PM A sign designed to promote The Langton Brewery. It appears at Farndon Fields Farm Shop here in Market Harborough and is designed to have a traditional style, painted on wood effect. I would love to know if you see the sign (or any of my other bits of work) when you're out and about. Be sure to take a pic and send it to me, I'd love to post it on the blog. Cheers and enjoy!
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 10:29AM The Langton Brewery's latest offering 'Bullsye Stout' is now officially available in 500ml bottles. The bottles are available in selected places in the Leicestershire area. Here's how the new bottle label looks...
Also, just in case you missed them the first time around here is a link to my blog post for the pump clip and a little video showing how the artwork was created. You can also check out all the other Langton Brewery projects in the 'beer' section of my portfolio. Enjoy!
Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 12:06PM Yes, I know it's been absolutely ages since I last posted some work. I've actually been on holiday for a couple of weeks and therefore was too busy beforehand to update my blog (plus I forgot!). Anyway here is a frog I've created recently for Warning Zone. It is the latest adaptation of the frog character I created for Warning Zone. You can see some of the other examples in my portfolio and in previous blog posts 01, 02, 03. This particular frog is being used on an invitation for a 'Supper at Firenze' Italian restaurant in Kibworth. Check out the frog below and how the front of the invitation looks below again. Would love to know what you think. Enjoy!

The final stickers will be cut to the shape of each image and given away to school kids to stick anywhere they please! Enjoy!
