Christmas Card for the Holler Gram app

Monday, December 12th, 2011

For Christmas the nice people over at Made by Many decided to make a seasonal update to their free app Holler Gram.

Designers and illustrators were invited to contribute to this app, and my Reindeer card made the cut alongside a nice selection of very talented illustrators and designers.

Holler Gram turns your iPad into a physical messaging platform – a glowing sign – that you can load with a message and it also allows you to tweet your message with a hashtag from right within the app. The season version has, in addition to the great cards from various designers, also the option of creating your own cards and backgrounds to your messages.

Art quote wallpaper on design milk

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

 

The art and design magazine Design Milk feature a free wallpaper every month always based on a design or art related quote.

Wallpaper with picasso quote

This month I was very happy to be the featured artist. I chose to illustrate a quote by Picasso that I think rings very true:

” Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”

The wallpaper is free to download, there are four desktop sizes and it is also available for iPad and iPhone.

The Irrepressibles illustrations

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

Earlier this week Andrew Lockwood from Amelias Magazine (A daily online magazine focusing on art, music, fashion and earth ) went and met with Jamie McDermot, frontman from the band The Irrepressibles to ask him about his life, his music and the extravagant performance art-style the band is known for.

A long time admirer of this band I was quite exited to do the illustrations to accompany Andrew’s interview with Jamie.

Dypsomania bids farewell to legend expat

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

This is a homage to my friend J.B. Shoemaker who, even though he was just about to set sail to Bahamas, had to check out early.

Our expat paths crossed in prague, I met him in the infamous Prague expat haunt Marquis de Sade that he ran at the time.

From the time we first met he was always a source of inspiration, from our plans of writing graphic novels together-

there was one about a hunchback in the Tyn and a mysterious large amount of Dwarfs in Prague, entitled Dypsomania:

or a more obscure and ramble-full tale of three pals on an adventure, including 49 year old quarterbacks, and finger-eating spitting lizards:

to his inability of showing up on time or when promised, followed by his talent for excuses that made it all worth wile:

Im sorry you had to leave so soon JB, I was hoping for more stories to come.

New web design: Natalitique

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I am happy to introduce to you a new pretty destination on the World-wide-web: www.natalitique.com

Natalitique is the home of web developer Natalia Pavlova whom I have had the pleasure of working with on a number of projects. She is the master of details and it seems no matter how impossible a visual you come up with, she can manage to build it.

So I was quite excited when she asked me to help out with the visuals for her new website.

She wanted something clean and uncluttered to reflect what it is she does, namely writing clean, short and clever xhtml and css that works across browsers. No less!

So we made a very white  and clean design with a few nice details such as little fancy bullets to spice it up.

To contrast all the white and straight lines we chose to use a coloured background and an illustrated header with a green natural touch- this because of  Natalia’s personal interests in ecology and her love of nature.
