I’ve finished building my new website!
www.kerryhyndman.co.uk is where it lives.
I’ve been working on some christmas card images and thought I’d try and do an off duty/deep in though Father Christmas portrait. Because he’s probably a bit worried about all the work that needs doing before christmas. I was going for an old weathered fisherman type look but in retrospect thats probably not very festive. The first time I did the portrait he looked maybe a bit too grumpy so I thought I’d try again and add a bit of ‘jolly’ to him.
I’ve made a little process video of me working with photoshop and illustrator on these images and I would really appreciate any feedback on the portraits and if you think that they’d work as christmas cards. I’m worried they may be a bit too gloomy to be festive - but then again Christmas is a pretty stressful time of year for everyone involved!
These illustrations are part of a larger London pattern that i’m currently creating. I’m still working on it in Illustrator, I’ll neaten it up and then move it across to Photoshop to add textures.
I’ve been meaning to add some maps to my portfolio for a while now, so thought I’d start with one of the village where I grew up. I’ve also included some images of my process.
I started with a very simple sketch that I drew on the DLR. When I got home I sketched out a few more elements that I planned to include in my map.
I then scanned this image in and build up the basic forms in Illustrator. blocking out the sections where I expected the text to lie.
Once I’d played around a bit with the composition I added the text and finally moved the finished image across to Photoshop to add the textures.
Here’s my new HOME SWEET HOME illustration to go with a Home themed playlist/mix tape I’ve created. you can listen to it HERE
New Jellyfish illustration. I can’t decide, dark legs or light legs?
Yesterday I was featured on the FEATURE ME site, which I was really excited about as they feature work from some really great and inspiring illustrators and designers!
I have been updating my website www.kerryhyndman.co.uk uploading lots of new illustrations as well as adding a new ‘Posters and Prints’ page featuring my gig posters and screen prints.
