A skull. He looks unhappy. I would be too if I had buck teeth like that.

Adrian Brody continues his Brodyquest in to a child's crayon drawing, drops his Oscar and picks up a rabbit instead. I don't know. Go watch Brodyquest.

Looking up at the stars.

There's something hiding under your Bed, and it's cute.

In my continued obsession with the awesome face, I made an awesome face medal. I also just want to make a medal.

Mathematics is the language of nature.

A poster in support of Matt Kesler's Farmville farm on Giant Bomb's 'Betting the Farmville'.

A Facebook group with the message "Keep Calm and Drink Tea", saying that we are not all pathetic, violent rioters. On this day we stay in... and drink tea. As a tea addict I couldn't resist. The group asked people to take a photo of themselves today enjoying a brew.

Heads.

A collection of the 18 posters I have produced so far.

A minimalist movie style poster for Dead Rising 2. I tried to encapsulate the main focus of the game just in the illustration above the text.

An old plastic robot head. Needs a more detailed face.

A Parody of the famous 'Keep Calm and Carry On' posters, tweeted to me by my friend Christian Lawrence a week ago.

I tried to make the most boring magazine I could. Wood is a good start, but I missed out on the exciting world of cardboard!

I was thinking about ribbons, as straight men often do, so I decided to make one.

An idea I had for the name of a design studio, and a logo. Intentionally odd looking. Abbreviated it is SSSsssssssssss.

Everyone knows I am obsessed with the awesome face, so I made an award/badge that people can award to awesome faces!

My submission for Longshot's 'Debt' issue. They produce a digital and print magazine in just 24hours, using user submitted content around a theme.

tinyBuildGAMES, the developer of the upcoming game called 'No Time to Explain' are having a competition to make an overly serious, cheesy, movie style poster for their game, so I gave it a go.

Concept for a series of clothing labels.

An old piece of wallpaper. With an arrow pattern.

Based on my experience walking home last night. Also, he is a hipster cat.

Mr Awesome Face graduated today, Bachelor of Arts Awesome Face.

A poster for Lord of the Rings, taking inspiration from Saul Bass and Olly Moss.

A collection of my Phoenix Wright illustrations.

The Gentlemen's Guide to Hairstyles.

Wanted to try doing some pixel art. Started simple.

Learn how to spot a mutant tentacle man thingy from a real man.

Design #200! A big milestone. Concept for a T-Shirt design today. The every day office environment.

A poster for the new Harry Potter film, based one one of the official posters.

Referencing a game called 'Henry Hatsworth', because in that game you known when it's tea time. Also, I LOVE TEA.

This quote by Ira Glass means more to me than the words of anybody else. It is what keeps me going, despite all of my self doubt.

Another Six Word Story written by Mitch Kampf, given to me by Six Word Story Every Day.

The letter A made from smoke brushes. Might make an interesting font.

A website I built today.

I made some triangle scatter brushes and decided to do something simple with them.

I wanted to make my own birds on a wire style illustration, and the closest wire to me was my PS2 controller.

Something like a wrapped present. Based on a really good colour scheme I found on Kuler. http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/1416252

My favourite flower/plant.

Based on a drawing I did back in January, I made some fan art for the upcoming PS3 game 'Journey'. It's such a beautiful game despite being almost entirely empty desert.

Rebuilt my individual project display page as well as the client pages.

Completely restructured, remade, recoded and updated the projects section of my website to reflect what I'm doing... and not be so crap.

I had an ice cream today. It melted on my keyboard.

In February I illustrated a portrait of my friend Ellie. At the time I was so proud, but it always bothered me that I designed it using bands of colour giving it a weird look. So I went back to it with the experience I've gained over the past few months to make it look more realistic. Now the old one looks awful. My technique still needs work, but I am happy with the result.

I wanted to try and get better at illustrating people, so I started simple. Eyes.

Based on the saying used to remember the directions on a compass. I got the idea from Angie Taylor's new book and Jack Wells typography, showing that type can be made from anything. I made type from shredded wheat.

Still bitter about summer.
