DKSid - The illustration + design of Damian K. Sheiles

I've been absent of late from my blog and social media... here's why.

Presently, I've been juggling several projects at once. I'm working on material for my graphic novel, plus several cover style illustrations, a limited poster design for a band plus a 24 page promotional book called DKSid which I intend to present to Chris Ryall and ted Adams, the guys from IDW Publishing while they're here for the Supanova Pop Culture Expo this June.

DKSid will be a mini portfolio that showcases my design and illustration style(s). It will be a compilation of one-off cover style illustrations, plus two short comic strips of approx 27 panels each. I'm sure it will evolve as work progresses and new/better ideas come to me.

Below is an advance look as two WIP pages. I'll post more as they are finished. As always, any comments or feedback is welcome.

My 2014 Self Promotion Campaign

With the new year in full swing, it's time to reflect on what occurred the year before, to ponder, what can I do better this year? Where do my strengths lie and what is the core drive of my business enterprise?

When put simply, I am an accomplished graphic designer with a sharp eye for detail, great typography and page layout skills plus a grounded sense of form, colour and function. What I do well is provide graphic design solutions coupled with a print and signage provision service as a result of my close working relationships with WA's premier trade printers and signage companies. I am also an award winning illustrator who's keen to produce private commissions for you.
