Mural for Live Nation - Two Step Inn Festival by BarneyIbbotsonIllustration in Manchester
Mural for Live Nation - Two Step Inn Festival
This was one of a set of murals that entertainment company Live Nation commissioned me to design. This one was displayed at the Two Step Inn Festival in Texas, in a pavilion specially constructed to promote the Washington state winery Chateau Ste Michelle. The design was created digitally and printed onto wallpaper and installed on the wall.
I am a freelance illustrator and graphic artist from Manchester. I have over 20 years' experience, in which time I have worked for such clients as Carlsberg, Lacoste and Live Nation.
Much of my illustrated work tells a story, either about a place, a person or an organisation. I relish the challenge of storytelling through graphics and always enjoy the research involved in ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the story that I am portraying.
The work is often very detailed and contains visual references that help draw the viewer in and engage with the work.
Projects I have worked on include:
Murals for offices, festivals and public spaces;
Vinyl window graphics;
Editorial illustrations for magazines and reports;
Album covers and band merchandise;
Infographics and data visualisation;
Icons and logos;
Assets for animation;
Beer glass design;
Exhibition & event graphics;
Hand-drawn doodling;
Stained glass design;
Presentation design;
Personalised prints & birthday cards;
Temporary tattoos;
Graphics for clothing
I work predominantly with vectors (scalable digital artwork), but also have experience with hand-drawn techniques, and I am a keen doodler.
