Hamish and Andy comic

Back in 2009, I pitched a comic strip to a radio station about their very popular personalities, Hamish and Andy. They’re a couple of regular blokes who have now got their own TV show and are well known here in Australia. The comic would have its own website and be updated regularly with new comics in an attempt to generate more exposure for the duo, build an online community and just have a bit of fun. I suggested that the comedy duo could even come up with the storylines themselves. Long story short: Pitch FAIL.

FileMan

A series of comic strips and illustrations for FileMan Records Management. They specialise in handling files for law firms so this campaign follows the story of Smith Partners Law Firm, a messy and unorganised company that is saved by the FileMan service.
