TORENTO’S LAMENT

A Lullaby for the Lost

The beloved figure from Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro, reimagined as a quiet witness to urban melancholy.  

Bathed in neon and shadow, the rain falls like memory. The moon watches silently.  Signs flicker with quiet despair:  

悲しみ (sadness), 離隔 (isolation), 解離 (dissociation), 間抜け (fool/idiot), 敗者 (loser), 不安 (anxiety), 死ぬ (to die), 溺れる (to drown), and 放っておく (to leave alone).  


Each word, a whisper. Each glow, a wound.


Drawn with alcohol nibs, Copic markers, pigment inks, and Posca paint — this piece bleeds neon and emotion.

◼️ Don’t Open THAT Box / The Screamer ◼️


A monochrome freehand illustration, drawn with Sakura Pigma Microns on 330gsm cold-press paper.

Inspired by Chandler Bing’s offhand warning - “Don’t open that box!” - this piece unravels into a visual spill of modern mania.  

It channels the pressures, absurdities, greed, and imbalance of contemporary existence, suggesting that confronting these forces may unleash more chaos than comfort.

Ruminating visual footnotes engulf the composition: each element interlinked, each detail echoing the claustrophobia of containment.  

Even the faintest glimmers of hope seem to evaporate, reinforcing the isolating undercurrent.

Ultimately, The Screamer is both a cautionary glance and an invitation - to reflect on the complexities we keep boxed away, and to consider what might emerge when we dare to lift the lid.

mothers for mothers - digital media assets package - logo variants

The Bristol perinatal mental health support charity, Mothers for Mothers, sought a refresh of their logo and visual elements, along with an expansion of their digital media assets as they approach their Sapphire anniversary.

The brief called for modesty of design while ensuring representation for all individuals who use their services, and modernisation to align with the rapidly changing dynamics of today's world. Additionally, the new designs needed to complement and integrate with the original elements for a smooth transition into this new chapter. Each element should be capable of standing alone while also functioning harmoniously across various media.

THE LAST YELLOWSTONE WOLF TEASER SELL
A STORY OF LOST LOVE THAT NEVER WAS

The new music video by Pushing Skunk - The Last Yellowstone Wolf is now available to watch on YOUTUBE

I am very thankful that I get given a lot of creative freedom by the music artist MOOREND when producing his music videos. He is a pleasure and an inspiration to work with. These images have all been made by hand and designed in Linearity & GIMP-2.10 (which is an open-source software that really holds its own against the giants), and then stitched together with a lot of patience!

NEW LIEGIS EXHIBITION
- APRIL 2025 - 

After displaying at a number of galleries in and around the South West, Liegis’s latest exhibit will be at the wonderfully warm Coffee #1 on North Street, Bristol, BS3.

This solo show will showcase an eclectic body of new work from the artist in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. 

Please do come along on the 10th of April for her open evening. You will have the chance to speak with the artist and enjoy browsing her works before their general release.

SPOOKY CALM - SOCK DRAWER MUSIC VIDEO

The artist behind Sock Drawer has dropped a new track and music video.

This Bristol independent music artist provides an eclectic mix of releases that skip between tracks of love and life, as well as songs of societal observation. This addition to their diverse repertoire had an equally unique brief for the creation of their music video:

"I'd like it to be a lyric video based on the idea of Einstein's Spooky Action theory, but make it trippy and psychedelic."

So, with my guerrilla editing skills of découpage-style layering, cutting, blending and keeping those quantum style psychedelics in mind, I do hope this gives you a good 4 minutes of amusement.

SEE THE LIGHT - NEW MUSIC VIDEO 

It's been a while since I've had the fun of doing some production for Bristol music artist KALA CHNG.  It was definitely a challenge from the original footage that was submitted to me. But you know, I am a person who likes to get the job done to the best of my ability with the resources I have available to me.

So, after all the post-editing, stabilising, re-timing, stretching frames, syncing others, rendering, colourising, recomposition and a few tweaks, I am happy to share with you the See The LightOne of many seminal tracks that will be released from her groundbreaking new album, Journey To Faith.

You can check out the whole album here:

NEW COMMISSION RELEASE:
A PAIR OF SHOWLS

One of my clients gave me a fantastically tantalising brief on this one! Simply cross a sheep with an owl's head = SHOWL. One of an inadvertent pair of commissions that brazenly bent the rules of reality to create this mythical being.

Produced using graphite, copics, polychromos, poscas, and pigment inks, with an ironlak freehand symmetrical patterned background and an overlay brush wash of acrylic and ink in a custom blend.

If you would like to book a commission with me, check out my commissions page.

UNEARTHED & KALA CHNG - RUN WITH WOLVES YOUTUBE VIDEO
VIDEO DESIGN AND CREATION

I was immensely honoured and excited to be given the project of producing a music video for the UK Oriental urban pop music artist KALA CHNG. Surmounting a decade in the industry, with a heritage in music that spans far further, this special release coincided with International Women's Month and ten years in the music game.

"Out for International Women's Month, this song signifies for me the moment I felt I had become a woman,

and after ten years of making music." - KALA CHNG

FIERCE FEBRUARY - THE MIGHTY FOUR

FIERCE FEBRUARY - THE MIGHTY FOUR
To very quietly commemorate 20 years of UNEARTHED & ACID BUNNY, this quartet of characters naturally fitted the occasion. As a special way of marking it, these are available on BIG CARTEL. These originals are loose sketches that hopefully encompass the energy of their origins, and only one of each will be available. You can either click the image above or the link below to take a closer look at them.

GOOD BADASS GIRL - NOVEMBER 2022

Bristol Asian pop-icon KALA CHNG has released a new track from her album STAR, which is out now!

GOOD BADASS GIRL has already seen a lot of media interest with this cool, Asian, urban pop track, which, as always, has inspiring lyrics and current themes that highlight social movements that are applicable the world over.

UNEARTHED helped with the creation of the music video and social network animations to create an abstract take on the track with a healthy dose of CHNG style.

CAMPAIGN DESIGN PACKAGES

Stop Gambling Adverts

The Stop Gambling Adverts Campaign is the initiative of Garth and Jan O'Donnell.

Incensed by the tsunami of gambling adverts on both television and social media (to name but a few), they hope that putting a small kernel out there will encourage others to follow suit.

Their message is simply this:

We are not being evangelical about banning gambling, but feel that if tobacco advertising has been so successfully banned (with people still continuing to smoke), surely the same could apply to gambling advertisements?
