Tom Bunney
July -August 2023
Hailing from the UK, Tom has now been based here in the Sea-to-Sky for 5 years and works as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, predominantly in the mountain biking and outdoor industries.
His work is heavily inspired by the dark imagery of medieval times, mixed with strong contemporary graphic treatments, and is fuelled by 80’s heavy metal and a healthy dose of bikes, boards and mountain air. Centering around the macabre and the mysterious, his designs are often based on myths & legends and usually include animals, nature elements, skulls, and ancient weaponry, whilst conjuring themes of timeless symbolism.
After 5 years agency experience in London working on predominantly more corporate design work, Tom left the UK to chase the mountain lifestyle and has since made his illustration work his main focus. After living and working around the world before moving to BC, he maintains a worldwide client base and seeks to continue working with as many local-to-BC brands in the biking and extreme sports sectors as possible, as well as foraying into the alcohol, cannabis and natural healing products market. Please get in touch if you’d like to work together on any apparel, branding or packaging projects, or anything else that may be a good fit!
