Ocean-Inspired Collaboration: Whale Shark Design

I’m super happy to have designed this whale shark print for Ocean Armour, it’s always great to see my artwork come to life and this particular design is one of my favourites.  As a freelance Print & Graphic Designer, I was asked to create a custom design for a buff, inspired by the majestic whale shark. This project was a lot of fun and a personal favourite, especially since the ocean is a huge influence in so much of my work.

Ocean Armour has a great range of products where sustainability is at the core of everything they do: oceanarmour.com.au.

Here are some images of the drawings and final product:

Happy avocados!

print design

I was hired to design a print for a new babywear company called Tiny Blooms. The print features hand painted cute smiley avocados. I have to say, I am a sucker for an avocado! I even eat them on their own with a spoon (topped with some salt and pepper of course). So as you can imagine, I loved creating this design.

See are some images showing the design and how it looks on the final product. I am really happy with how it’s turned out.

Hand painted bespoke print design request

Drawings/illustrations, Paintings, print design

I had a very unique and special request recently. I was asked to create a hand painted bespoke print for a wedding suit.

The print was to include whisky bottles and glasses, and although a little nervous about the idea since I had never painted glass before, I said yes! I absolutely loved this challenging project and would be keen to create another one like this if anyone would like a personalised print.

The client’s favourite whisky brands are included in the print (see below), each element has been created from the original whisky brand bottles. Can you spot your favourites?

Once I had created the back drop for the design. I hand painted the elements that were going on top:

I played around for a while with the placement of the paintings, I wanted to make sure the design wasn’t too busy and didn’t interrupt the background elements too much, the end result is below. The client was very happy with it!

Here are some images of how the print will look once it is on the product… exciting!

The client also wrote me a lovely review, see below:

A graphic collection for Bleubird

Drawings/illustrations, graphic design, print design

My first collection for Bleubird, the ‘The Wilder Collection’ is available now. I really enjoyed creating this collection for this brand. I get a lot of inspiration from nature and enjoy outdoor activities myself.

I started these designs by sketching ideas and then editing them and adding colour on Adobe illustrator. See below some examples of the design next to my original drawings:

Illustration for outdoor swimming brand

Drawings/illustrations, graphic design, print design

Exciting news! I have been working with an outdoor swimming brand based in Bristol, UK. I was asked to create an illustration for a t-shirt inspired by swimming in the wild. I sketched a few different layouts and swimmers in different positions. We decided to go with the drawing as featured in the images below. I really enjoyed creating this for Wilda, they are a great brand that encourage people to get involved with open water swimming, an activity I also love.
