As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be {a gangster} an art dept graphic designer. So in the Summer of 2023 I decided to scratch a long-held professional itch by getting into that thing of theirs and giving it a go. And I’m delighted to say that so far it’s been a deal, a steal, and the decision of the f****** century!

 

Starting prep in July 2023 and based at Arbeta in Manchester my first gig was a 4 x 60' drama called Toxic Town, that was produced by Broke & Bones for Netflix. We originally wrapped in November 2023 but then in April 2024 I was lucky enough to be invited back by the new production designer to lead the graphics team at The Sharp Project in Manchester for re-shoots, new scenes and pick-ups. Starring Jodie Whittaker, Robert Carlyle and Rory Kinnear it tells the true story of the toxic waste case that unfolded in the late 1990s and early 2000s in the East Midlands town of Corby. 

 

Next up, starting prep in June 2024 was another chance to lead from the front, this time in a hybrid role between home and the Cobalt Business Park in Newcastle. The programme was a 4 x 60' drama called I Fought The Law and was produced by Hera Pictures for ITV. Starring Sheridan Smith and set in the North-East town of Billingham it tells the real life story of 22-year-old mum Julie Hogg who was brutally murdered in 1989. Julie's killer was acquitted twice due to mistrials but later admitted committing the homicide to a prison officer while serving time on another charge.

Most recently I've been working on a few tv commercials and promos; first up I was the graphic designer for the Tyson Fury scenes on the official Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 fight promo which were shot at Space Studios in Manchester and produced by Sugar Free TV. Next I got involved for a few days helping out with some concept graphics and illustrations, including that most excellent teapot that's shown above, on EE x Samsung's Wild Weekend ad for Iconoclast. And finally I've just been putting the finishing touches together on another Iconoclast promo, this one was for the PUMA x Manchester City 2025/26 kit launch, starring Manc comedy legend John Thompson and some Spanish fella called Pep. It's all a bit "hush, hush, need to know" n'all that right now, but I’ll add some pics and a link when it finally kicks off...
