My Great New Vector Themed Tattoo!

I thought I would share this with the world after I decided to prove my love of all things vector by getting a tattoo!

I've been working with vectors for many, many years now and therefore decided to prove my love for vector artwork by dedicating the inside of my right forearm to this little design I 'knocked up'.

Any vector enthusiasts out there will no doubt recognise the pen tool icon from Adobe Illustrator. To fully personalise the tattoo I added a little 'smiley' face complete with vector style points and beziers to symbolise the last joy filled decade or so of my life.

Feel free to let me know what you think...and yes I do realise this ink will be with me for life. I am obviously a fan of tattoo's and this one is meant to represent a great chapter of my life. That will never change and I am very happy to be reminded of it on a daily basis!

Super Duper Bumper Boats!

The new logo I recently created for Bumper Boats (www.bumperboats.co.uk)
They are a company providing inflatable boats in an enclosed water filled pool for events and fetes etc. Great fun for kids to get in the boats and bump each other to their hearts content!
A fun logo was required showing a couple of boat characters post bump! It needed to show the splashing water and also be vibrant yet friendly. The logo will be used on all the usual including t-shirts and advertising materials!

Here is the final result...

And in case you are interested in the development here are the initial sketches I created for the boat characters...

Langton Brewery New Festive Beer Label - Welland Innkeeper

Here is the latest beer label I designed for the Langton Brewery based in Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire.
They needed a label designing for their festive beer for 2010 which is called Welland Innkeeper.
The illustration has a little bit of a biblical influence with a few festive colours thrown in.
The beer is for sale as a 500ml bottle and also on draught in certain public houses in the area.
Please feel free to comment, and if you see the bottle or the pump clip out in the real world let me know and feel free to send me a pic so I can put it on this blog with a hearty thanks!
