I took a visit to see artist Luke Jerram`s Museum Of the Moon as it was suspended inside Leicester Cathedral. The piece is the focus of events by the University Of Leicester to mark British Science Week 2018 and is a joint project between the Artist, University and the Cathedral. Measuring 7 meters in diameter, MOTM features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the earths nearest neighbor and is lit from inside. At a scale of 1:500,000, each centimeter of the spherical sculpture represents 5 km of the moon’s surface. After the visit to Leicester the work will travel to the Commonwealth Games in Australia. for further information Artist:  www.lukejerram.com Leicester Cathedral: www.leicestercathedral.org University Of Leicester Science Week: https://le.ac.uk/science-week

A poster designed by me for The Great Central Railway`s Sci-Fi weekend in September 2015. My brief was to design a poster that had 60`s science fiction influences echoing the era that saw the launch of British Sci-Fi shows like Doctor Who etc, The typeface was chosen for its futuristic style and the color scheme of reds and oranges reminiscent of the planet Mars (a favorite location of many a sci-fi writer). The background features a long exposure rotating star trail above a mountain range and three UFO`s with the lead craft beaming down its otherworldly inhabitants (named Kay-tee & Ju-Ells) to the planets surface to visit the event.
