Kickback Man

Joe McDermott's card for Papyrus is now on the shelves. The artwork targeted for the birthday of 'the man in your life' was to feature a slightly past-his-prime 'superhero'. Joe says "They wanted the hero to be relaxing on his couch, watching TV, and be surrounded by junk food. He's a couch potato who isn't so concerned about fighting crime anymore."

Be Magazine

Perrier on the Metro

Joseph McDermott's work for Perrier with Ogilvy Paris appears large on the Paris Metro. Stunning!

Perrier

Joseph McDermott has been working with Ogilvy Paris on some ads for Perrier and commissioned to complete 3 images in his 1960's pop art style. Joe says "For the overall look, they wanted it to have the appearance of an image on paper that had been greatly enlarged/zoomed in, so the line work had to be a bit fuzzy. For color, they wanted solid colors with a paper texture." With the speech bubble translating to "Oh A Perrier with thin bubbles !", Joe's style gives the posters a fresh, clean impact, very suited to the brand.

Viral Velocity

This illustration for Google's Think Quarterly Magazine comes from the hand of Joseph McDermott. The brief was to produce a comic strip to go with a feature on the science of how videos go viral and at amazing speed. Joe was provided with the details of a particular video - the very amusing 'talking twins' as the subject of his strip.

Joe McDermott hits Wales

This retro image is from a commission completed by Joe McDermott at the end of last year. Joe Says: "In fall 2010, Fflic Productions in Wales commissioned me to create a few pieces for their TV show "Hip Neu Sgip?: Yn erbyn y cloc" (Hip or Skip?: Against the Clock) that were used to make-over the cafeteria at Ysgol Y Strade, Llanelli, Wales. The students and volunteers executed the work, and did a really great job." All the  dynamic results can be seen here.
