Contains Scenes of a Visual Nature

Ich bin ein berliner

Pictures from Berlin taken last year. Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to upload them. So lax.

I’m now on Pinterest

alextomlinson — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 07:03:03 +0000

So I took the plunge and joined pinterest. If you don’t know about it, it’s like tumblr, but it actually links to the source content and is not as annoying at this point! I haven’t used it extensively but I plan to use it as much as possible (although it would be incredible if it added the ability to pin vimeo videos!)

Anyway, if you don’t have it and would like to see what the fuss is about let me know your email address and I’ll send you an invite.

If you are already on it and would like to follow/see my boards you can find me at http://www.pinterest.com/alextomlinson

These are a small collection of little trinkets and boppets made in the last week for a concept brief based on the idea of ‘emotional objects’.

No ‘final piece’ as of yet, but a few little nicky-nacky noo’s for your tastebuds. Or eye buds. Whatever.

Typeface Preview

alextomlinson — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 04:47:42 +0000

This is the beginnings of a new typeface I’m developing. Everything about it is subject to change (especially the thickness of the R’s stem). Getting quite excited about this one.

New Portfolio Site

alextomlinson — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 00:01:48 +0000

I will be putting my “showcase” work up at http://www.cargocollective.com/alextomlinson from now on. I will probably get around to getting a custom URL in the near future also. Please check it out, and I hope you enjoy!

I haven’t stopped working either, I am currently developing a new font, previews of which will be up on the showcase site in the near future!

Terrorism Has Won

It’s been a long time since I last did an update. Been crazy with deadlines and getting Portfolio together etc. Anyway I have a load of work to get posting up. But I’ll start with my new baby.

The Truth is a newspaper of illustrated facts and figures about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The recent capture and death of Osama Bin Laden is by no means a bad thing in my eyes. But the cost of blood on our hands for this one man needs to be debated. I am not saying that we are right or wrong, this piece only seeks to make people ask questions of ourselves.

You Shouldn’t Give Rabbits Ecstacy

I think university is turning me mental.

Solid Snake the Graphics Way.

alextomlinson — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:06:21 +0000

If you don’t play games, or you play games that include Call of Duty, FIFA and nothing else this will make no sense. It’s just a small doodle, but I got immense satisfaction out of it.
