Safcol Tuna

The designer already had this concept fairly well finalised in the visual, but never the less, I had to redo the image from scratch for hi res printing. The final result was a coyright independent illustration with hi res detail for POS applications.

Old Crow

Another label illustration.

Dencorub

Illustration for Dencorub packaging....thanks Jeff. DCS file in two colours and white.

Advanced Healing Band Aids

Johnson and Johnson developed a range of band aids that act like a second skin, aiding swifter healing whilst keeping the bugs out...I had to illustrate these applications for the packaging. Design firm the Branding House. 

Impulse Summer Shakers

Designer Zillah Dunton commissioned me to do these illustrations for the Impulse Summer Shakers range.

Ski Yogurt Bars illustrations

Another packaging assignment this time for Ski Yogurt and a new range of yogurt bars. The challenge was to make the bars appetising...not so easy sometimes.

Simmons Mag Wheels

For designer and art director Ann Barton. This technical illustration for Simmons for an ad Ann was doing for them.

Palmolive Softwash

Photo illustration for Palmolive softwash following the designs of John Blackwell from the Branding House. The pack has since been updated.

Nutri-Grain Honey and Nut

For Ray Laws again, this is the packaging illustration I did for Nutri-Grain's Smash Honey and Nut. Everything is done in 3D and finished in Photoshop.

Message in a bottle

This is just a photo I took with my Canon EOS1 MkIII using the L series 180mm macro zoom. I was down at Port Hacking on the Deer Park wharf on a beautiful saturday morning. Floating just off the jetty was this VB beer bottle that ruined the pristine surroundings. So as it got closer, I fired off some photos. I quite liked the result....there is art in rubbish!

Nutri-Grain Strength Energy Power

For designer Ray Laws, the back of pack for Nutri-Grain, done in 3D program FormZ and photoshop...quite fun to do.

Norco Ice Cream Truck

A digital oil paint illustration for Norco Australiana Ice Cream for designer Jeff Stewart who was Creative Director at Red Star Design. Bit of a departure to use warm colours for Ice Cream branding, don't you think?

Deep Spring Mineral Water

Another photo illustration piece for the branding of Deep Spring Mineral Water. Designed by Lawrence Hennesey of Sophie Batho and Associates. The water took quite a long time, but echos the previous design which I also did with Lawrence.

Nair

An illustration I did for Nair for designer Jeff Stewart. A vector file this time.

Morita

This is just a photoshop exercise really. For Imagri's client Morita which I think does dental chairs. They shot the young dude and I had to do two paths of the aging process....presumable one where he uses the chair and one without to highlight the difference a life times use would make.

Kahlua

John Blackwell came up with this idea for a limited promotion run of Kahlua. To be printed on the shrink wrap, it was to echo the actual product. John had me illustrate it and then do a 3D rendering of the result. There was talk of a UV treatment that would have looked mad in the clubs...I  don't know whether this in fact happened.

Metal Malibu Robotic Surfer

It is no surprise that if I can get surfing comfortably into a job, I will. This is one of the images I did for the Robo Surf series. I am not a big science fiction reader anymore. I was when I was a teenager, but I sort of left that behind as I found my interest turn more to Theology, and there is certainly plenty to read about that. Science fiction does raise it's head from time to time in my work and I am quite happy to potter in that area if it comes my way.

Robotic Shark

Another image I did for that same job as the Jet Fish.

Jet Fish

An idea I had whilst doing the bookcover work for Avery Dennison. This appeared on one of those products and was going to be used as stickers but the project was shelved. Done in 3D program FormZ, and inspired by Thunderbird 4 and the F-16 Hornet. The bubble background was a photograph I did of a freshly poured glass of lemonade using a 50mm macro zoom lense on my Canon EOS.

Burgen Bread Illustration

I think this is the very first digitally painted illustration I ever did. Using Painter for the very first time, this image was commissioned by designer Anthony Cody and appeared down the centre of the Burgen Bread Hi Bake packaging that he designed. Burgen is owned by Tip Top I think.
