Ben Swift New Disney BLOC28 Mickey Mouse T-Shirt Design

Photobucket

Super hype to be part of the new Disney BLOC28 T-Shirt Series 3 alongside Swifty, She One, Disco Teck, Jimi Crayon, Josh Sutterby & Mitch. I illustrated iconic cartoon character Mickey Mouse on a Hip Hop tip, on the wheels of steel & on the mic.

The highly anticipated Disney BLOC28 Artist Series 3 tees have finally arrived!

The artists in this series have been picked from the cream of contemporary British talent, all of the artists have their own unique styles, and they all have a following; having been able to take their street art to a broader audience. We saw something in their talent that reflected what we wanted to do... tell a great story in a non-traditional way. Each of the artists is communicating a visual narrative with their pieces in very different styles.

Check the three tee colourways. Available from Addict Clothing Co, click here to purchase. Further info on Disney BLOC28 here.

Cineworld 3D Quad Poster

Photobucket

This was a great project to be part of, the rebranding of Cineworld & the introduction of 3D Films. In this age of Photoshop film posters it was cool to be able to rock some Illustrations & somewhat step in the shoes of illustration movie poster legend Drew Struzan. This film style quad poster was on display alongside current film posters in all Cineworld Cinemas. Art Direction: James Wilsher Creative Agency: BD Network.

"Cineworld had a great platform as a company, but no real brand distinction when it came to developing a deeper, more emotional relationship with their customers. So when they challenged us with creating that distinction, we came up with the 'More Than Movies' concept. From here we developed a full range of creative and strategic programmes, each contributing to the growing success of the Cineworld business."
