I've been working up some samples of repeat patterns based on the seasons. This is the first one i've completed, with an autumnal theme. Hopefully i'll be able to get 3 more of these done.

Alternatively, you could wait for advent, when i'll run a giveaway of a pack of ten of these on my Facebook page. You can find my Facebook page here.

Cards for good causes

Very early, but christmas cards always seem to be designed at very un-festive times of the year. I made this for a charity called Cards for good causes, and it will be on sale in Norwich's Forum this christmas.

Here is the design, featuring Norwich's city hall. The clock tower is a very common view for Norwich folk, so I thought it would be nice to find a way to incorporate it.

Traceur

I finished this guy a little while ago. He sort of appeared near fully formed in my head, but I never had any plans for him, so i'll just leave him here...!

Voter alienation

Another sample I've recently worked up. This responds to an article about young voter's alienation from democracy. Seems to be a bit of a hot topic recently, especially after Russell Brand's interview with Paxman.
