The Scarecrown Wizard

So I had the pleasure of creating the cover for this new release from Portugal based producer 'RoomNineUnilimited' (real name Paulo Fernandes)

The album itself is an explortation of ambient electronica verging on the lighter side of progressive psychedelic trance. Paulo had found my work through a previous album cover that I had worked on and was perfectly content to give me free reign as far as the design went.

Architectural Review

Editorial Illustration for this months Architectural Review, the article is about programming, software and creativity in architecture.
I had alot of fun doing this piece, its an image playing with shape, space and texture communicating abstract digital ideas yet grounded with the use of found and scanned textures/hand made drawings.

New Tshirt: India Fundraising

As some might know, when I'm not being an industrious illustrator I can often be found spinning various circus toys about and occasionally teaching others to do the same.

Just recently I've had the opportunity to join a volunteer-led charity called Performers Without Borders for a 4 month tour of India Jan-May 2013 where we will travel to 3 different cities teaching and playing and performing circus and skill toys with orphans and street kids from problem areas.
This is a great cause especially as some of these children haven't had much time to be kids at all in their lives, and performance skills and the confidence that comes with them are something that can benefit anyone all their life.

Part of being a team member is doing a bit of fundraising beforehand both to cover my volunteer travel costs and for the organisation itself.
So for the occasion I came up with my newest Tshirt design, combining mandala style patterns and my skill toy of choice:
(this will also be the first time Yoyoing has been taught as part of the range of skills PWB brings to these places)

These will be available in white-on-black and black-on-grey

I will be getting a limited number of these printed and I've already taken a few pre-orders from eager people.

They are £16 delivered to the UK (and whatever the equivalent to £18 is worldwide), £15 if you want to collect in person in cambridge.

please email enquiries to PAUL.R.SARGENT@GMAIL.COM

I should mention I still have my previous Tshirts for sale as well as a load of prints of my illustration work:
