Cold Ones
Introduction
With roots extending back all the way to 2022 this project started as a large-scale digital illustration and sticker design set.
The modern 2025 reincarnation saw shifts in field of practice and branched out to physical media and a splash of photography.
I produced a single run of keychains, a video brochure with a custom skin that plays a motion design clip I produced in 2024 and
lastly a set of prop pills with a designed label that makes a nod to a classic Cool Shirtz Tee captured with my OMD- EM10 and polished
to perfection in photoshop.
N.B. This project was self directed and not produced, commissioned or organized by Cold Ones, just a passion project to show some love to some very groovy people.

Showcase
The Keychains
The custom acrylic designs I designed, creating a y2k inspired media player frame to place the sticker illustrations completed in years prior. Once the graphical assets were ready I had the acrylic charm pieces manufactured through the lovely folk at Vograce. The other little odds and ends on the keychain were manually assembled with beads, bits of bling and chains.
Animation
This animation piece spans about a minute and a half and incorporates elements from
both the sticker designs and the larger rendered illustration, along with assets created specifically for this output in order to tie it all together.
