The Lighthouse Keeper of Aspinwall

With this piece the client requested an illustration to accompany a short story in a book of collected short stories. The illustration had to convey the themes, ideas and symbolism portrayed in the story line without giving away to much of the plot.

The final illustration was created by the montaging Application: Photoshop of several images together to create the final scene (stormy sea, clouds, stars, moon and light house). It also had to look like a stormy night, so the images were colour adjusted and desaturated, then rain and lightening was added.

 

Our lady of perpetual help

This postcard was created for my local church (pro bono) so that they could sell them to raise funds. The church is called ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Help’, this naturally lead me to my central image, which is of Mary (Mother of Jesus) holding the baby Jesus, as well as a lamb (The lamb is also a well know symbol in Catholicism).

The clouds and cherubs were added to give the whole design a more heavenly and religious feel. The main aim was for them to be used as Christmas cards, but with an open enough look so that they could be used all year.

 

Imagination Released

This is a card that I designed and illustrated to be used as a self-promotional piece for my own business. I had such a great response to the design that I have decided to create a range of them along a similar theme (imagination and creativity).
