One of the many vehicle wraps that I have done as part of my job at Signbiz. I design the graphics and our skilled Production team print and wrap the car.
This baby is so pink that it literally glows!

Wine labels for work.

These were created to go onto wine bottles that we are giving to clients as a Christmas present to say “thanks” for their business in 2012.

I used CorelDraw X5 to set up the files, they were printed on our Mimaki printer on Promo Vinyl and I then hand cut and stuck them on - no vinyl cutter in my office.

Pretty stoked at how they came out - even if some of the labels are sliiiightly crooked!

These are a couple of posters created for my friend Hannah. She just moved into her own place recently and wanted a bunch of typographic posters and small A6 sized quotes made up - 24 all together!


These are A2 size and will be printed on synthetic paper at some point.
I am rather fond of the Frank O’Hara quote actually.

I made them using CS6 - ID, IL & PS.

Pinterest CEO Portrait | Eric Daigh

22,675 — that’s the number of push pins it took him to create this cool artwork. It really a brilliant scheme, he mapped out each individual CMYK pixel at low-res in photoshop and printed that mapping on the cork-board. Systematically placing each blue, red, yellow, black and white push pins in the appropriate space. Just like off-set printing! Simple and so fitting for the social media trailblazers Pinterest.
