Mini project "Re-covered" Street Fighter Alpha

The first piece of a new mini project entitled "Re-covered", which focuses on creating new covers for classic games on slightly obscure systems. the first system that the project will focus on is the Sega Saturn. I chose Street Fighter Alpha for the first cover to represent the Saturns wealth of 2D fighting games, in which the Saturn excelled. I took inspiration from the works of Capcom artist Shinkiro, whose work on the Capcom vs SNK series and other crossover games made their covers and posters standout amongst the crowd. I wanted to use Shinkiro's high contrast use of hot and cold colour palettes. 

The next game thats in the "Re-covered" series is the fighting game that the Sega Saturn is best known for: Virtua Fighter 2.

Farang: Red and Yellow

Farang: Red and Yellow is a 24 page comic exploration into the 2014 Thai coup d'etat through the lens of a western eye. I created this comic with the intention that Thailand's Coup crisis will enter the public consciousness and spark a conversation.

Anglepoise Living Lamp: one of the winning books

Living Lamp was a professional brief set by British lighting maker Anglepoise® for final year BA Illustration students at the University of Portsmouth. Over 40 students were tasked with bringing an Anglepoise® lamp to life by exploring the narratives around their anthropomorphic qualities through a single concertina sketch book. Each concept was kept under wraps until the end of the campaign, when all the sketchbooks were presented simultaneously. 9 winners were selected by Anglepoise® Brand



My Narrative was selected as one of the 9 winners, It was an exciting experience working in secret from my piers and the Anglepoise company, which made the big reveal event both tense and exciting. 

Preview Spreads of 'Farang: Red and Yellow'

production on Farang is going well, interpreting heavier themes through an aesthetic thats relatively new to me has been equally exciting and unnerving. Farang features a look thats intended to strike a middle ground between the underground antiestablishment comics of the 1960's and 70's and a more modern independent look thats more widely seen now.
