• SWEET GREETINGS FOR 2017 •

Happy New Year to anyone that might care to be reading this. Towards the end of 2106 and the beginning of this year, my main commissions have been for confectionary packs.

These recently completed illustrations are still under wraps and unfortunately can't be shown yet, BUT, I can post these artwork samples that I pitched in order to obtain the new jobs.

There are a variety of companies represented here and feature some of my all time favourite work.

•MOUTHWATERING CARAMEL SWIRL•

A quick and satisfying job last month for TAG in Leeds. To create a delicious caramel swirl with photo-realistic illustration. This small vignette would be dropped into the bottom corner of a cereal pack so wasn't even taking centre stage as the hero shot of the product. Nonetheless it needed to convey all the sticky lusciousness that we associate with melted caramel.

From my own photographs (of honey, chocolate and golden syrup) and reference images from online sources, I distorted and then re-coloured melted chocolate to look like gooey toffee. Using the twirl filter and one or two other distortion filters in Photoshop and then judicious masking and trimming, I managed matched the flowing swirls of the brief.
