Update on some current projects: Metroid

30th anniversary Metroid tributes

Super Metroid Tribute

Metroid: Zero Mission work in progress

In 1986 Nintendo released the seminal exploration game Metroid, the Metroid series has always been one of my favourite gaming series. the series keeps to it's themes of alienation and loneliness, something that mainstream games don't usually attempt. to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the series i've produced some posters using an aesthetic inspired by 80's print comics and Saturday morning cartoons.

Exploring Anaglyphic Illustration

Shinobi - Jonathan Scott

Recently I started a mini project exploring a mixture of  two visual aesthetics that I have a passion for, Japanese wood block print and 1950's anaglyphic 3D imagery.

The project resulted in three poser prints and a short exploration into using this aesthetic in a sequential, narrative art form. To create my images I used a mixture of printing ink, drawing and digital manipulation.

Cassette tape Illustration mini project

Stemming from my growing fascination with analog media I decided to design a cassette tape case as a promotional item, based on a poster illustration I designed previous. I'd like to expand on analog and outdated media design some more, perhaps making this into a series of some sort.

A2 "Space Crusader" poster

Today I managed to get my hands on a high quality, matt, heavy stock poster print of my "Space Crusader" design. really happy with how this print came out.

Held up to get a better idea of the scale

The Trafalgar pieces

These are the finalised images for this Trafalgar project, since the client was a pub, I wanted to include an element to reference the space where the illustration would be situated. I had a huge amount of fun preparing this illustration, playing with surrealist imagery is extremely freeing. although the image it's self is somewhat fatalistic, with the addition of the quote form Lord Nelson, the image takes on a patriotic theme.

Civil Rights Project; She, Who Said No

Sample pieces from the most recent project, which has a civil rights theme, more specifically, the actions of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycotts. My primary textual research so far has been Voices of Freedom by Henry Hampton and Steve Fayer, I highly recommend the book as it has oral accounts of the civil rights movement from those most involved, reading these first hand accounts of events is both interesting and sobering. With my research having a significant focus on first hand accounts I wanted to add a very distinct human element into the design, by using primarily brush and hand made ink prints to the piece I feel like i've achieved this, I also wanted to add an interesting spin on the fist iconography thats usually associated with the civil rights movement. The project is far from over so hopefully I can expand on more of the themes in a visual manor.
