See Ya

 

Time for a family holiday to recharge the batteries. I'll be back to work on the 15th December. See ya on the flipside and watch out 2012 is going to be HOT.

BIG NEWS!

 

The time has come for a new chapter to start in my life, and it's BIG NEWS!

From 28th November I will be heading out of the corporate world of graphic design to start working for myself again, and it's going to be fun.

I've got lots of whopping projects with some really great artists lined up, so keep checking back for information as and when I can talk about it.

I'm also looking for COMMISIONS to help put food on the table at UME HQ, so if you’d like me to work on a project drop me an email (umetoys @ googlemail.com) My background is graphic design (major brands) offline and online, but I’m always up for sculpting, toy work and illustrations. I have some availability late December and the end of January – but if you fancy a chat, I am up for talking shop anytime.

Speaking of toy work – I’d love to get involved in more shows in 2012 – if you’ve got one or know of one coming up that you think I’d rock, let me know.

And last but no means least – I’ve also been known to snap a few photos from weddings to pet portraits and everything in-between, to have a look over my portfolio please visit www.umephotography.co.uk

So here’s to 2012 – exciting times indeed.

Iron Man needs a home

He came with us to 'thought bubble' and was a hit on the UME table. But it's time to offer him up to a new home, if your display cabinet/shelf would like a little Christmas present drop me a line.

Digital Artist

 

Nice surprise today - my tutorial for Digital Artist magazine has landed in the shops. If you fancy having a laugh at my copywriting skills and learn to draw a tiki in illustrator this 'cheats guide' is made for you.

It's been a while

It's been a few weeks since I posted much over here. I haven't been slacking but have been so busy with New York comic con, the icons show at the Hang Gang in Leeds and then prepping for Thought Bubble on the 19th. I squeezed in this little spider-man poster to keep the vectors going. If you'd like to keep an eye on my work come over to umetoys and have a look.
