I will admit right now, this job didn’t fill me with enthusiasm at first. I have worked for the Royal Mail three times previously and each time my work has not been used in favour of photography. My initial reaction was just not to do the job as it’s not much fun working up and image through the rough stage and paint, only for it never to see the light of day. That’s not a criticism of the Royal Mail, it’s just the way these things go sometimes.
I was asked by my good mate Gary to create an illustration for his new company called Cultivate Creative. After years of working for others he had decided to take the plunge and set up his own design agency with his colleague Paul.
I was contacted by the American Communications of the ACM Magazine to do a front cover image, I had never worked for them before and any cover mage is good news.
