Ice Mountain
Commissioned for on pack artwork for a high street supermarket chain.
Mega bar
I think it’s fair to say that Magnum leads the market in Ice cream and chocolate heaven, delivered on a stick!
There are many imitators and these are three of the very best that I’ve had the pleasure in illustrating for various competitors.

LiquoriceAllsorts
These sweets were originally commissioned for the top Norwegian brand of Licorice Allsorts. Quite perverse really when you consider that I live within a long stone’s throw of the home of Allsorts – Bassett’s of Sheffield.
I’ve added to the range over the years with packs for Supermarket ranges too.
Ice Cream
What a great job this was, photograph and illustrate some ice cream – eat some ice cream!
Photograph chocolate, eat chocolate, you get the idea.
The most fun was realising that the insides of Crunchie bars just don’t give enough honeycomb texture to use in this kind of illustration, so I had to set to and made a batch of my own.
Luckily the illustration for that particular flavour variant arrived around Bonfire night so I didn’t eat all that refined sugar myself, we took it to a friends fire and shared it.
My favourite flavour to illustrate and the one I’m most pleased with is the clotted cream. This was pure illustration (the blue and white pot) mixed with some 3d work (the churn) and some Photoshop brushes (the grass) blended with photography (the cream) bringing them all seamlessly together is very satisfying.
These have been under wraps for a few of months and there is still one more flavour that has not yet been released.
Talky the phone
Talky the mobile phone. A character designed and illustrated for Asda stores and used throughout on everything from credit cards to POS.
Rodney & friends
Some more of those wonderful magic characters created for magicians Razamatazz.
Bob the Builder
Commissioned as a test illustration by Egmont to see if I could correctly capture the features of the nation’s favourite builder.
It was successful and I was offered a Bob the Builder picture book on the strength of this piece.
Small World
A monocular little critter created for the “Shorts animation film festival” held in Barnsley.
Magic characters
These fun characters were commissioned by children’s entertainers Razamatazz magic.
Chameleon
Soft drinks company Drazil in California commissioned this colourful little character for their packaging.
Frosties
Frosties cereal bars to be exact.
This pack was specially commissioned for sale in airport Duty Free outlets only.
It gave me chance to work on one of the all time favourite kid’s cereal characters, Tony the Tiger.
Products
The illustration and visualisation of either existing products or planned new campaigns that need some sexy slick artwork to sell them to a client.
