Sounds of the City - an illustrated interpretation of urban sound

My entry into "The Prize for Illustration 2017" in association with the AOI and London Transport Museum. The theme was Sounds of the City, so my interpretation was inspired by the sounds of both night and day in the big city.

Business Cards ready for a new year

Although I rather liked my business cards from last year (found here http://iantiseoillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/i-mean-businesscards-i-have-made.html ) I felt that I should upgrade them. 

So, here are a selection of my latest business cards, each with a different design on and my adorable face on the back. All printed by the lovely people at Moo.com

Cheltenham Illustration Awards 2014

I notice it's been nearly a year since my last post! This is pretty disgraceful. I update my actual portfolio but less so this. I guess because I have no idea if anyone actually reads this, but ho hum.

My latest edition to this blog is the news that I have been selected to be in the Cheltenham Illustration Awards 2014 annual. Yay! I entered the competition in June (I think...?) I was informed that out of 700 entries, only 60 will be represented.

The brief was "Being Human", and below is my entry

Chum Salmon Run!

Last week I was lucky enough to go and visit the Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year award exhibition. Obviously inspired by the photography on display, I set about creating some illustrations based on what I had seen. One such photograph was of a bear thrashing about in the water with a salmon in its mouth. This made me want to create my own little image based on the great salmon runs around the world, and the long journey many salmon make, only to wind up jumping into a giant bears terrifying jaws.

Here be the outcome...
