The Bad Apples

To me badges need to be iconic. Their history combined with their small size creates this need to be iconic, direct and dynamic. Because of all these things I wanted to put a lot of thought into how I approached these images. I title this set ‘The Bad Apples’. They act as kind of a descriptive nametag. They say the first step to recovery is admission; I think when we acknowledge our flaws we make the first blow against them. So I am always the first to admit I am a bad apple.

Andy J. Miller is a working illustrator, trained graphic designer, music dabbler/enthusiast and creative director of many side projects. Passionate about all things aesthetic, stylized and conceptual, Miller wants to bring love of all creation into one even flow. Miller has a wide variety of clients; some are big hitters such as Sony, Converse, and Starburst candy, others are more independent such as Howies, Little White Lies Magazine and Chalk Apparel. More recently Miller has been working on an animation for Nickelodeon’s Yo Gabba Gabba and also an artist series product range for Poketo.
