Christmas Gift Tags

2011-12-21T16:14:00.000Z

These are the Christmas gift tags that we sent out at amber&green studio this year to clients and friends. The idea was to stay true to the branding and add little Christmas related quirks. The illustrations were letter press printed on a machine that was probably about 140 years old. They were then die cut and packaged up in little boxes wrapped with ribbon to be sent out. I'll upload a photo of the final presentation after Christmas when things are more chilled. Merry Christmas!

Illusive Soundz & Reperkussion Live Painting

2011-11-14T10:08:00.001Z

These are a few photos from an event that I was painting at on the weekend. We only had a couple of hours and the weather was against us but I managed to get something quite colourful finished. The black and white piece was painted while I was a little bit worse for wear at the Drum & Bass event Reperkussion in the Sno Bar, Milton Keynes to help out a friend. There'll be more of these Illusive Soundz Dubstep/Electro/Live Painting events coming up so 'Like' my facebook page for future details: http://www.facebook.com/KristianDouglas.Illustration

2010-11-22T08:50:00.009Z

Something a little bit different... some new work done through amber&green studios.

'Interior wall mural/illustration on blackboard. Using chalk we transformed this London based office area creating stylistic illustrations of classic ornate furniture. By developing the intial concepts, we were able to create our own contemporary twist with detailed features that added wit and a sense of humour making for a more appealing waiting area for their clients.'

A friend of mine asked me to work on some t-shirt designs for his bands European tour merchandise. They wanted a fresher take on the usual 'Metal' theme. The result was a bold, graphic look taking influence from archaic objects and the undead.

The designs are going to be released in stages and are available for pre-order now HERE.

You can also pick them up from one of their many tour dates. The European Tour with Winds Of Plague, Stick To Your Guns & For Today kicks off on the 4th of November.

Chicke Republic Update

2010-10-22T10:00:00.010+01:00

I was commissioned earlier this year to create an illustration for Nigerian based fast food restaurant Chicken republic through design agency Brandy and amber&green. The illustration was used across 70 restaurants as a wall mural and for packaging purposes.

Recently, they have been doing a 'munch more' promotion where my illustration has been used as promotional posters, car graphics and even a colouring book.

I did laugh at one of their advertising posters, you'll see why...

Chicken Republic

2010-06-21T18:02:00.005+01:00

This is a job that was commissioned through where I work, amber&green. The illustration now covers the walls in 70 restaurants in Nigeria and has been used all over their packaging as well.

"Working with BrandyUK we were commissioned to create a ‘Melting Pot’ of 80 component illustrations for Chicken Republic. The illustration reflects the vibe of modern Africa through use of icons and word play. The final hero illustration was designed to be used as a giant wall mural that was digitally printed to work across Pan-Africa outlets. It is adaptable in a number of different configurations from in-store graphics to fast food packaging."
