London Architecture Inspires Musical Illustrations

I mentioned a while ago that I had done some work for Sinfinimusic.com. I thought I'd share the illustrations that I created that have a London connection. These all form generic category images for the website's new online music store. Working with the commercial director, I used familiar pieces of London architecture to sum up the music within, without overtly illustrating any one instrument or composer.

I did lots more images for the Sinfini Store, and you can see those using these links to the gallery and the projects area of my portfolio website, or to their main category page called The Sinfini 1000.

Crystal Palace Park Community Audio Trail

I recently completed a new profile image (it's not really a logo) for the Crystal Palace Park Community Audio Trail. It's a project created by Sarah Glover to document audio stories of Crystal Palace residents and visitors to the famous park, and nearby. The image is now being used on their Soundcloud and Facebook pages. Have a listen to the tales here - nicely edited, and produced with a lovely atmosphere to them. More tales added as the interviews continue, I understand, with the latest only uploaded a few days ago.

Here's a sneak preview of some work that I was commissioned to do by Universal Music. I'll write a proper post about it (and share more examples) when their promotional push begins. Until then, here's a little peak. Residents of London SE19 may recognise a familiar former occupant of Crystal Palace Park.

Images for suttonshares.org.uk

I recently did some cartoon style images for the launch of a new time sharing scheme (sometimes known as time banking), based in Sutton, Surrey, called Sutton Shares. Run by the Volunteer Centre Sutton, it's for the London Borough of Sutton. I'm happy to see that they've used some on their website, but I also understand that they've been showing them to people during the scheme's training sessions, and using them as part of their handbook. Always happy to help a good cause with my felt tips and photoshop!

Forage Press - Hot Concrete

I've been featured on another blog, called Forage Press. I've attached the three pictures that I created for them here. All their featured artists and designers produce the pieces of work specially for Forage Press, as a response to different pieces of music.

There's a massive variety of images up there. Read the full post, and listen to the music that inspired my summery creations by visiting the site itself.
