Bleubird designs by Paige Critchley

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:

These are some of my favourite images of the collection:

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.

Get in touch if you need artwork for your outdoor brand or company merchandise, I’d be more then happy to help! Contact me at paigecritchley@hotmail.co.uk or you can use the contact page on my website.

A wall for the kids room

Paintings

I recently completed another wall mural for a client in BC Canada. The client was a small family in Sun Peaks Ski Resort, and the kids wanted their stuffed toys to be included in the design. The first character was a hedgehog called ‘Hedgy’ and a rabbit called ‘Crusty Bun’. I’ve put some pictures of Crusty Bun below:

I designed a few different options for this piece. You can see them below:

The client picked their favourite design and that was it… I was ready to start this fun piece of art! The design was a bit of a challenge for me as the previous wall mural I had created was a completely different process. However I enjoyed the puzzle of how I was going to create these clean/sharp edges. A little tip to anyone creating something like this: masking tape was a big help!

Another wall mural complete! You can see some photos of the process I went through to create this wall mural below:

Tees for the mountains

graphic design

I designed a logo for 3 Peaks Rentals in Sun Peaks Ski Resort, BC, Canada. The branded t-shirts are in, and they look great! Here are a couple of pictures to showcase the new design, modelled by the lovely Gabs, who currently works for this company. This logo also features on the company’s website and has been used for other marketing purposes.
