My first visit to Brighton was fab and will definatley not be my last, and whilst my trip was short & hectic I managed to have a good look around.

First of all on the seafront I found this poster for an Australian illustrator called “Jeremyville” who I recognised straight away from Computer Arts Magazine.

Apparently a Brighton Bookstore & Gallery castorandpollux was selling a limited poster by the artist, unfortunatley I didn’t get to the shop, but instead when I came home I found a few links on Jeremyville & flicked through my old magazines to find these examples of his fun Characters & amazingly busy illustrations, which he has created on all kinds of media including, 3D toys & clothing.

A scan of Computer Arts Magazine Issue June 2006 with a front and back cover ilustration by Jeremyville, who illustrated their article “50 Ways to become a better designer.”

.

Jeremyville also kindly gave away a few videos of him sketching to music in issue December 2006.

I’m going to put his new book on my Christmas wishlist:

” His latest book is called ‘Jeremyville Sessions’, featuring collaborations with Geoff McFetridge, Miss Van, Devilrobots, STRANGEco, Lego, Converse, MTV and Adidas. His art has been published in design books by IdN, Die Gestalten Verlag, All Rights Reserved, Victionary, MTV, Magma Books, Kidrobot, Faesthetic, Laurence King, Taschen and Pictoplasma.

Jeremyville has worked with clients such as Converse, Rossignol, Colette, Coca Cola, MTV, Kidrobot, Refill, Graniph in Japan, Adio Shoes, STRANGEco, Wooster Collective, Super Rad Toys, Play Imaginative, sketchel, Adidas, Tiger Beer and Tiger Translate, Artoyz in Paris, Domestic Vinyl in Paris, Corbis, Thunderdog, Red Bull, Pop Cling, 55DSL and Beck.”

Vinyl abuse is online toy and art magazine, lots of great character designs, reviews and interviews. Worth a peek!

I completely missed getting a copy of Computer Arts Projects character design issue which had a free Tado Mushroom character on the front. nevermind i popped onto Tado’s site where you can see all there latest work and characters including the McDonalds Glass advert – which is so cute and apparently only in Ireland!
