I had real fun with this one. A set of x30 vector illustrations and poster designs for the Horniman Museum and Gardens. Find out more here:

It’s a timely post as there are stag beetles flying around our neighbourhood at the moment. They spend most of their life cycle underground as larvae (around 6 years) so it’s always kind of wondrous to see them take flight.

Update: here’s the full crest for the Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers. For maximum flexibility I created it as a vector so it can be used at any size. Scroll through to see all the colour versions.
In related news, I’ve just finished designing an exhibition for the Joiners and Ceilers which is due to open at the Guildhall Art Gallery next week. More soon …

You may have heard that the Natural History Museum has had an overhaul. Gone is the dinosaur that dominated Hintze Hall and in its place is a vast whale skeleton, suspended from the ceiling. While working on that little project they also added display cases around the new addition. They approached us to create vector illustrations for their visitor app. Sounds pretty simple, right? The challenge was that they needed 170 rocks, 120 minerals, 35 seabirds and 40 pheasants on a very short deadline. Not only did it require we use our drawing, retouching and design skills, it also demanded our attention-to-detail, or should that be our borderline-obsessive-attention-to-detail to get it done. Are we allowed to say we're really chuffed with the result? We think so.
