Exeter Mobile Hairdresser logo and website



Here's a graphic design and website project that was recently completed. My wife is starting a mobile hairdressing business in Exeter, called 'Kathedral Mobile Hairdresser' and we've put together a logo, business cards along with a simple flash-based website using wix.com. If you're new to website design then it's really worth having a look at Wix, which allows you to build a website that includes animation very easily. We've kept our design very simple but Wix offers more elaborate options too. You can check out the Kathedral website here

Oliver Baby Name Cheetah Cartoon

Here's the finished cheetah design, again a mixed-media piece. This was created for some friends of mine who recently had a baby boy after a very quick home delivery :-)

Notice the cheetah is standing on electronic scales displaying Oliver's birth weight!

The Speedster


Here's another prelim drawing for the cheetah cub, mixed media again but this time I went with a more dynamic pose and composition. I feel the big blue eyes and cheekily calm smile work well in humorous contrast with the fact that the animal is apparently running at high speed.
Like many of my designs this can be purchased on a number of products through my store
Check out some more of my animal cartoons here

Cute Cartoon Cheetah Cub


I've been working on a cartoon Cheetah design of late and this is one of the first preliminary drawings, created with ball point pen, colored pencils and my favorite pens at the moment, Copic Ciao Markers which come with a chisel tip at one end and a "brush" tip on the other. Using different media on a single drawing means you can quickly build up a range of different textures, colors and marks...and it's great fun! :-) The image is available on a number of products, such as the children's T-shirt you can see below, in my store

The Art Gallery, Tavistock



Went to Tavistock (located on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon, UK) the other day to check out the recently-opened 'The Art Gallery' that's owned and run by Richard Varley.



The gallery features paintings in a range of styles and subject matter, by both well-established and upcoming artists and is really well organized and presented. I have some paintings on show there at the moment including:

The Art Gallery is located in the centre of town at 17, Duke St, Tavistock, Devon PL19 0BA. Tel: 01822 611091 and well worth a visit if you're in the area. Also, after visiting the gallery I would highly recommend driving a couple of miles out of the town to visit the small church that sits atop the rocky outcrop that is Brentor (see below) for some stunning views of Dartmoor and the surrounding countryside!
