Ink Dot Charity Mandala Collaboration
I contributed to a group show with Ink dot Prints, based in Bristol UK. The mandala was made up of pieces contributed by eighteen artists. All the artists, designers, and illustrators were working independently of each other and had no idea of how it was all going to look together.

Ink Dot
Ink Dot was a poster art competition you had to get into by submitting your art. I got into two of these and I loved them so much. I even made some sales. Wish I knew who brought them. You can see these collected posts from my old Blog that feature the two artworks.

Born to Learn
I designed some shorts for the 21st Century Learning Initiative at A Productions Ltd and they have been given a write-up on Fast Company. It also has links to the shorts.
It was purposefully designed simply as possible to put across the message and ideas that the 21st Century Learning Initiative wanted to put across. The design had to move on a bit more from the first short (simple stick figures) as the following ones were dialog driven so the characters were required to have more facial features.
