Low Poly robin

I created this image using a free low polly generator which I then tweeted in Illustrator and Photoshop. Really like the effect, I think that this technique would be good one to use to create some great christmas cards.

Lightbulb terarrium

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I'v been very busy.
So a recent hobby I have taken up is making terrariums in lightbulbs.
For my terrariums I have used air plants (tillandsia) as they are quite low maintenance, however I am planning on making a moss one next.

So here is my terrarium after I had added some sand, rooks and my wire plant.
The lightbulb was a standard halogen bulb and you can find numerous you tube videos on how to hollow one out.

I painted some little figures I bought, there ones are a cowboy and sheep dog.

Final lightbulb terrarium

I have also made another terrarium since this one but not in a lightbulb. This one is made form a small glass vase and the rabbit is from a toy shop selling dolls house items.

Mothers Day card illustration

Final designs for chocolate packaging.

 

  

The final packaging designs for new chocolate flavors for Divine Chocolate, as well as the packaging I designed some accompanying posters. 

Illustrations by Ricardo Solis

A Mexican artist based in Guadalajara, I absolutely love the humor in these illustrations and the detail is amazing.

Experimental Chocolate Packaging

New project, so I though I'd do a bit of experimenting with pencil and watercolour.

Biscuit business cards

Experimenting making biscuit business cards. Used a home made salt dough cookie stamp then stamped onto short bread.

Body Shop Finals

These are the final finished pieces for the D&AD Body Shop brief.  The final outcome includes four product posters a social campaign poster for a new campaign idea that they could champion.
And finally a way of getting more people in store on online through social media.

  

This is the basic twitter page design, it uses the same style as the product posters and features an online competition.

This is the poster design for the social campaign.

The new social camping idea was for the Body Shop to champion child vaccinations in third world countries, specifically for the standard vaccinations that all children in the western world get.

Body shop development

This is a piece of development for a product for the Body Shop. Would be hand drawn type. Still Needs some work still.

The truffle Pig

Currently working on a new project that involves training a pig. So just doing some illustrations to go along with my work.

John Lewis Christmas ad

I absolutely love the John Lewis ad but a I am gobsmacked by how much work actually went into it. I though it was all just CGI. But Creative Review have done an article all about behind the sceans and it truly is amazing. The article is a must read!

Autumn photographs

Just walking home and spotter two squirrels. You know its definitely Autumn when you see them collecting nuts.

Oddatis

For professional practice we have been given a brief called, the art of being odd. it is all about the little odd things tha make up me, things that make me stand out from the crowd. Un fortunately there are quite a lot. So the first thing or do is make a list.

Things that are odd about me:
I read a lot, and I mean a lot. When I have the time I can read about 3 books a day.
I wear a lot of blue. 70% of my wardrobe is blue.
I eat cake when I'm stressed. But don't most people?

I can't stand yogurt with bits in.

I was told by an educational psychologist that I have "a wonky shelf." In my brain.

I loovvve bunting.

And one more, I hate wearing shoes.

So after looking at this list I decided to focuse on that amount of books that I own. And that when you have a lot it can be quite difficult to accommodate them all.

I end up finding them in some quite strange places. The most popular being under the bed.

I also have quite an extensive collection on my Kindle, around 400. So intrude to come up with a way to incorporate the two.

I then decided to put all these images together in the form of a small book (which probably end up in a strange place within a week).

All these images can be found at http://www.behance.net/EmmaLiles 

Fox birthday card

Jack Vettriano at Glasgow

Saw this exhibition the other day and what can I say I've always loved his work but so see a collection of 101 of his paintings. It was inspiring and of course I cam away with some soverniears and a print. Hi light recommend it if your visiting Glasgow or if you just like his work.

Little milk bottle

Just had a small session on the lazer cutter and I've got to say I am impressed.

These samples are wood, plastic and card.

Jazz and soul

I recently designed a poster,flyers and tickets for a jazz and soul evening hosted by a location church.

Never thought the poster was going to be used on such a large scale.

Not sure about the poster next to it but what can you do?
