Illustrating

So I haven't been paying much attention to the blog or the tumblr lately, since my attention has been directed mostly to bike polo and the bits of illustration jobs that it's surprisingly given me.

Illustration was something that I originally wanted to do before dropping out of OCAD and going to fine art and art history. Lately, with reality staring me in the face (in the form of an unfulfilling job in customer service), I've begun lamenting that old ambition which has grown recently with some minor jobs I got from friends.

I got to do the illustration and typesetting for a couple Bicycle Film Festival side projects - an alleycat race and the annual bike polo tournament (the ones posted here are becoming spoke cards).

Another fun project is making team logos for bike polo. I'm taking part in this winter's London Bike Polo League, as is my partner, Mark, so I got to design both our team logos. Right now, you can find a post featuring all the different team logos - there are many creatives in the community, so many of them are quite good and entertaining.

Up with creative jobs! Lets hope this is the beginning of a more interesting future (of making money).

Really liking the posters and logos. Stick some on cafepress; the beard logo would make a cool t-shirt!

The beards logo should become a shirt soon enough, I hope. The team need to sort their kit out :)

Do you think that making team logos for bike polo is really funny? I don't think so I prefer other kind of entertainment because I like the action, the real risk and this isn't.m10m

it is a great posters but it is the first time that I heard something like that. I hope that they have it streamed on the internet.
