Lowdown on the Logo


Hello ...

It's been a busy couple of months, lot's going on what with christmas and other things, so sorry that this blog has been quiet. Had some meetings and got some rather cool and exciting projects lined up in the coming months with some companies and events in Liverpool. I am also currently working on some pictures for a proposal for a local football team that want to move and build a new stadium in the city, hopefully my pictures will help sell the plan to the local council for them, so fingers crossed!

I have also drawn up a course structure for some workshops that I will be running. These will be  beginner and intermediate ability drawing classes - looking to do three sessions for each group, with around 6 - 8 people per group. More info will follow with prices and location soon, so keep posted.

I thought I would share this little gem with you. If anyone is wondering where the design of my logo comes from it is drawn from inspiration from my father. My Dad is a talented artist himself and a all round lovely and funny guy. Back when me and my brother were kids he would draw lots of cartoons of us. They were always very cool and had a unique look to them.

So when I was back home over this christmas break I was hunting through all the old family albums and found this....



It was a couple of cakes he made for me and my brother's birthday with the cartoon faces of us iced on. As you can see the face design of me is now adopted as my logo, all be it with the changes that have happened over the 20 odd years since this was done with me loosing some hair on top and gaining some on the jaw line.

I will do a post on my father's art when I next see him and get some more images of his art to show you guys.

I feel honoured and humbled sometimes to have such a great family and also good friends around me. Their support and faith in me is always really appreciated.
