I’ve been playing around with the new Google Earth Studio, resulting in this pretty cool sequence. (If I do say so myself.) Google Earth Studio is an amazing tool that lets you create stunning animations using Google Earth’s incredible 3D aerial imagery. Featuring Manchester Town Hall, Beetham Tower, Media City, Old Trafford, Etihad Stadium, Oxford […]

Comic book logo design
It’s been a while since my last logo design, so it was really fun to get stuck into this little number. Strikeforce Kaiserman are a duo of barbershop brothers, who arrange songs for barbershop quartets and choirs.
