HP Artist Wallpaper Series

I was proper delighted to be asked to design a set of desktop wallpapers for HP to be shipped with their 2010 range of laptops, and was even more delighted when I discovered I was in splendid and esteemed company with three other great illustrators: Alex Eben Meyer, Julie West and Amy Ruppel.

It was a really fantastic project to work on for a great client, and the wallpapers are now out in the open, being shipped with the new notebooks and also available for download here if you fancy any of them adorning your screen.

High Speed City Link

Created whilst pondering about the new high-speed rail link being talked about in the UK and incorporates a cunning and plausible strategy about where we might be able to put in some extra railway lines and how to make the trains go faster. This is by using lots of downhill bits for speed, mainly, not to mention having cities on handy little nuggets of land.

Patterns

A vomit-inducing repeating pattern for Repeat-x Repeat-y. More to come, I think.

In The Big City

Massive detailed cityscape, based on the view over hilly Bristol. Originally created as a self-promotional piece, but went on to be used in a publication about housing development. 

You can buy a print of the beast here.

Invisible Cities

A concept for a cover for Invisible Cities. As the book is about looking at a city from various different angles, it seemed appropriate to look at modern London in the same way. 

I’m a big fan of treating the type as part of the illustration concept if it’s possible to do so.
