New artwork and gig updates

This morning I finished my latest job as a freelance designer.  I was asked to design a logo for Liverpool  Independent promotion company Scarlet Tone. The company is run by Matt Swift, Singer/songwriter and at the moment manifests as a monthly run music night.  If you want to know more details head to the PAGE.

These artistic specimens are what I came up with.  As ever it was a pleasure to work with Matt who I have also gigged with many times!

Earlier this month I also finished my design for The Cake Kitschen, Liverpool.   A bespoke cake and cupcake business run by Jo Shelbourne.   The idea was to come up with a pin-up style likeness of the woman herself.  This started off as a pencil sketch and I am very happy with the result!

For quotes for any type of artwork please message me.  I love doing this stuff and it makes me happy when people are happy with it.  Have a look at my ARTPAGE for more of what I do. Whether you’re a business, a band or you want a bespoke present for someone.

Awesomely creative…The Cake Kitschen

This is a bit of an artistically respectful and recommendation – type bloggage on my part…

It was recently my Mum’s 60th birthday and having seen some examples of handmade cakes courtesy of Jo Shelbourne aka The Cake Kitschen I was very interested in her making something to impress my family for such an occasion.  The result is as the pics below and they tasted awesome!  My mum used to make cakes like this when I was a kid and she was ridiculously impressed by her knitting biker AND matching cupcakes, a crafty morsel, which, incidentally ended up looking a little bit like a car crash at the end of the night…:) but it tasted gooood!

If you’re looking for handmade artistic creative cakes I seriously recommend checking Jo’s stuff out. Check out the FACEBOOK page or give her a shout.  This is the good stuff I tell ya. Local, handmade!

On the music front I have a gig coming up this Thursday (18th) at Mo’niques in Liverpool with the Kevin Critchley Outfit and Kaya….

Play guitar…eat cake… x
