My latest work for Esso is now running on 48 and 6 posters in the U.K.
The shoot was commissioned by DDB London working with Art director Matt Lee and copywriter Brian Ridley.
One of my first ever commissions was for Lego 12 years ago so was great to be working with Lego again.

Monocle cover

This month I was fortunate to be asked to shoot two covers for the latest edition of Monocle the first is the front cover and the second is the design directory 2011/2012 cover.
The issues main theme is “How do you jump-start Japan?” which is obviously a very poignant subject at the moment.
Monocle has produced a limited edition leather support Japan bracelet with all the proceeds going to Civic Force who are helping with the relief effort after the earthquakes. Worth having a look.

Issue 43 is out now check it out.
