Heels of Glory

Just had the pleasure of re-visiting my design for 'Drag Action Musical' Heels of Glory for the lovely Tricity Vogue which is on for 2 nights at the Chelsea Theatre on Wednesday 28th & Thursday 29th January. You can buy your tickets here

Happy Tramp

A while back I was approached by Inbetweeners movie director Ben Palmer & Zeppotron co-founder Neil Webster who were in the process of launching Happy Tramp, a new independent production company specialising in scripted narrative comedy to design a logo which would work for print in various formats with the idea of making it move at a later stage.

Armed with only a copious amount of extra strength lager (for research purposes) I initially sketched out a few ideas... & we fairly quickly decided on the finished logo. I tried a few handwritten typefaces but we settled on trusty old Gill Sans

 After the Special Brew hangover died down a few months later I took the character & directed & animated the short clip. I sent the guys an initial animatic to which they replied -

Thanks for this. We've got a lot of notes...
1. We love it.

Why aren't ALL jobs as fun  painless as this?

Heels of Glory

When a dear friend like Tricity Vogue asks you to draw a poster for a 'Drag Action Musical' you can't really say no!
Been drawing this through a fug of dissipating New Year 'ill' but has definitely cheered me up.
