Another Collaboration with Chris Rowland, This time i drew the wolf and Chirs designed the written side of things, it will be an A3 screen print and i think its pretty bad ass personally.

This is pretty much the finished article for the first of my third year work, all these past terms i have been working towards producing imagery for a fictional calendar that is based of the mythological adventures of hercules, most importantly the 12 labours of hercules.
This was the 6th labour to slay the Stymphalian Birds, and this is also my interpretation. Most of my back up work is also on here. The Birds are hand rendered as are the roses, although the roses are coloured on here. The border is also hand rendered an coloured on here.

thanks for looking

Joe

this is still border-less as is the bird, but basically been working on the back grounds and stuff.

any feedback would be great!

Joe

So this is what im working at slowly, im going to ad a boarder in soon just to top it and then i will leave it alone its come through a lot to get here!

Joe

This will become the backing pattern to one of my final pieces i plan to do three of these and repeat them in a wallpaper style approach, circa 1920's.

let me know what you think

Joe

Hello world,

well, i've sort of been busy recently as i havent really been feeling that creative its a funny time of year for me. The long and short of my situation right now is, Working in a factory for three days while earn money, and at night im doing these big water colour type things for my final project in BA Illustration. I hope everyone likes this.

give me some feed back if you can

love love

Joe

So, my deadlines are drawing closer and closer. I have arrived back at my original project hoping to complete it in the next few days. This experiment is based on my previous worked containing animals and so on. I have used pencils to work things out, then worked in with water colour and ink and finished up with pens and ink, im trying to give the image a certain 'flow' and all of the final image will be a mix of everything i have done this year.

Joe

So last year i did this poster for a show at the furnace featuring The Black Dahlia Murder, I screen printed them and they have just been sat around since. So i decided to sell them, They are limited to 5 in the entire world. I will be selling them for £10 including P+P so just drop me a message if your interested.

Joe

This the finished article for SALVATORE LEONE, Its got many purposes but mainly its a cd/tshirt/myspace type thing. I think this took a couple of days or something, but i watched top gun and friday while i was doing it, and it passed the time.

i hope everyone likes it

Joe

This is not evil!

Not intentionally, i was going for the placid kind of horned creature.... also aimed for the offset style text to give it a bit of a natural print look rather than photoshoptastic.

took around 4hours.

Joe

This is a reworking of the design i had done previously for sinking ship promotions, basically had to design a myspace 'header' which is easier said than done. Using a Combination of photoshop, Illustrator and photography ii ended up with this, it took around 2 days to complete in full.

Joe

Hands! Hans !
Well, i was working on the album art, which is going to involve a bugger load of hand as the sea. I had to practice so i drew this hand to get my barings a bit more, on showing Jack (WATO) he like the idea so i ran with turning it into a CD cover. It was originally intended as a sketch, then a tee shirt and now this.

Joe

This took Forever!

The first bit of work i did for WATO, working with the idea of 'nothing good has happened yet' and the fact Jack (WATO) had told me what the song was about. I came up with the idea that this guy, that bad luck wont leave alone, has hit the final leg of his life. I was thinking that maybe he should be drowning but it would be obvious and i didn't think anyone would expect him to be falling through new york, so there you have it. It referenced from a ariel photo of NY but i couldn't tell you where, obviously buildings arent bendy either!

sort of got a multi angle thing going on to, try spinning it around

This is fairly self explanatory, what you may not of noticed is that with in the waves are birds heads, see if you can pick them out!

I'm Currently working on the new WATO album which is due out in June, cant say to much but this ship will be featured and so will some fog. but not this fog its only a test!

Remember the inlay that i did the other day? well apparently it was toooo cartoonie! so now i worked back into it to create this version in a wonderful colourie fashion.
I'm quite pleased with it because i suck at doing flesh tones these girls are a little bit to shiney but i figured its kind of cool? any way this will be out soon enough and i will let you know when.

Joe
