Oliver Robert Holmes
Freelance Illustration
Freelance Illustrator. Bit of a designer. Like doing my own creative thinking. Best stuff is for childrens' books and brands. Do editorial stuff too. Do ad's. Make paper graffiti and put it around the world. Makes people smirk.
Never serious in life. Gets me in trouble. Never serious with illustration. Seems to work to my advantage. Try to snap people out of living like a zombie. Make them pay attention and get involved with products, concepts, feelings.
Think quick. Draw pretty quick. Finish whole projects quick enough. They aren't finished unless perfect. Do digital. Do print. Do hand drawn. Do vector. Do original. Do collaborate. Do work on my lonesome. Don't work without podcasts playing. Work out of The Hallway offices. Work out of home. Happy to work out of your place. Love being in Sydney. Love getting paid to do what I love surrounded by the people I love.
G.Nancy
Children's Sleepwear
There is no better person to team up with than my wife! She has dedicated herself to producing high-quality children's pyjamas under the label G.Nancy. There is a bread and butter yardage print of stars but each season we also work together on a new, one-off, hand-drawn print. As well as this I also help her out with illustrations for pillowcases, her website and marketing materials.
S/S 2016 was all inspired by Palm Springs colours and the playful nature of a bug. Our little girl is always day-dreaming looking at trees and bugs and we wanted to capture this inquisitive nature of all little ones.
