OneOffs

Odd ideas that just jumped out at me
- one-offs. For now...

Ebb

Oo! I like Ebb!

Stark. Simple. Effective. Memorable.

BlueSwirl

This particular wobbly idea has influences far and wide throughout my work.

The one above this for instance!

StudyInBlack

Indian Ink

A printers box of ideas.

In the old days, printers kept their individual metal letters for printing in a cabinet of drawers with fine carpentry walls separating each letter [all the As together in their own wee cubicle]. That cabinet is called a Font. The drawers of lowercase letters were positioned below the drawers of uppercase letters.

I love the principle of lots of little boxes with lots of the same different thing in each box.

Slieve

1992 | Isle of Man | 7” x 10”
Pencil & coloured Pencil

This early idea that didn't really go anywhere. But I learnt something.

It was someone's birthday!

Happy Birthday Someone!

It's a layered birthday cake with bits.

I was drawing the ocean and I SPOTTED a fish!

See what I did there?
