•PUPPIES & KITTENS

•PUPPIES & KITTENS
Here's a novel take on the classic game Connect 4.
I illustrated this just before the end of the year for Interplay in America.
When I say 'illustrated', I expect many of you think this is just photography, but there's a hell of a lot of retouching goes on with a job like this.
Each of those individual tiles has to be drawn as paths so that their perfect plasticity can be achieved, as with most of the cut-out holes in the rack.
The kittens and puppies themselves needed no retouching as the artwork for these existed already from the previous iteration of the game. The are very cute I think, I wonder who did them.
I am just about to launch my portfolio on Play.com, where I should pick up more of this kind of work.

•YET ANOTHER FATHER CHRISTMAS
•YET ANOTHER FATHER CHRISTMAS
I know it's going to seem odd posting a Santa character so far into the new year, have a Happy One, by the way! But this traditional Father Christmas for a top chocolate brand, was one of the final jobs of 2010 and I've just received release for him, so here he is - minus the branding! In doing this job for Futurebrand in Milan, I learnt the charming name for him in Italian - Babbo Natale.
So far this year I've worked on a new game for young children and been practising my magic act after a fairly successful 2nd gig on NY's eve.
