Art Test

Here is some work I've done for my last ever art test.
After an interview with a company that seemed like a great match for me they asked for me to do an art test. Normally I'd say no, especially after my previous art test debacle with that company in Denmark. But they seemed nice and I loved what they were doing - still do but don't agree with the art test. This wouldn't happen in any other industry. My work is clearly on display so they are aware of what I do. A much fairer way is to pay for a week's work. Then the applicant doesn't waste their time for nothing and the employer gets to see how they applicant works and fits in with the company.
I didn't even get any feedback, reply, thanks for spending time doing this just a vague explanation from a recruitment agency that I wasn't a fit at this time.
So I urge you fellow artists - put your foot down and say NO to art tests. Together we can stop this.
That said I'm really pleased with how this My Little Pony licensing work turned out.

(Gay) Bear & Ragged Staff

I notice that this year Warwickshire is having a Pride in Leamington for the first time. Growing up in Kenilworth I'm familiar with the county's emblem and they've missed a trick with their logo. I did this little cartoon of the 'Bear' & Ragged Staff and posted it on their Facebook Page. Go there, 'Like' and support them as there's not much gay going on in that county.

Pride Pals





The last time I did work for a gay audience I got slated for being too gay. The work I originally designed for 'The Big Gay Out' festival in Finsbury Park featuring poodles and sexy animals had to be replaced by muscly men with their tops off. ''Too gay." Honestly. Well I hope these are better received.
