My latest piece for the TES. Nice to learn something from the article im illustrating, very well put together piece, including mine of course!
Have a peep in my portfolio if you would like to check out a bigger version of the image.
Just before christmas I agreed to take part in ‘Think Act Votes’ collaborative charity exhibition. A group of artists including myself will be lighting up and helping to communicate a paragraph of our choice, written especially for the T.A.V guys by a small selection of writers. As well the exhibition there are talks of a book being printed so keep a look out for that.
check out the paragraph I illustrated, written by Orsola de Castro.
“I choose the future that we are collectively trying to shape, a new future, less about greed, more about understanding.”
Very excited to announce I shall be published in the new Illustration Portraits Book, coming out late spring 2012. There will be a few new pieces printed in it, the image above being one of those. You’ll be able to find the book in the US, Spain and the UK, but if you dont find it in-store you can always grab it on amazon, of course.
It was a very nicely illustrated end of year ‘Financial Times’, with some excellent work in there from a few different illustrators. I managed to complete mine with 22hrs with a 24hr deadline, shortest I’ve had.
I feel very privileged to have worked for such highly reputable clients in the relatively short time I’ve been doing illustration, The British Medical Journal is no exception.
Its that time again!! after the massive success of last years ‘christmas bear cards’ I thought I would have another crack at it. Slightly different feel to them, but undeniably christmasy!

It does seem as though i write this every time, but i think this is my best one yet……
…..until next time!!
great fun illustrating this one. Slightly more testing brief than I’m used to, but its was great to stretch my legs!
I shall be releasing a few more decorative portraits soon, this is one of my favourites.
It really did seem like ages ago I first put pencil to paper for this project. Never the less the day has come and my cards have arrived. Pick up your own copy now for only £8 here: Versus 2 Website
As you can see I have been called on again by the ‘FT’ to illustrate another diary entry for them. Very enjoyable this one, brilliant article, great subject.
Well well, don’t say i didn’t warn you! just got my samples back from the printers today and it’s looking brill. 4 months work all neatly packaged up into one A6 zine, thus being small enough to carry around with you. On top of that it folds out to A3 with a poster on the inside. too many treats if you ask me!
Drop me a comment on this post if your interested in receiving a free Zine and I’ll get one off to you! I wouldn’t want you to miss out!
You may have caught a couple of my tweets this weekend about my illustration in FT. Thought id pop up a post incase you missed it!
It really does feel like i’ve been saying it for ages now, but surely it must be done soon, what with the front cover being completed and everything……..
….well watch this space.
Getting a Promo from the printers next week of the ‘Zine’
so I’m releasing another image to take a gander at.
The promotional ‘Zine’ has taken a bit of a back seat over last couple of weeks due to being busy busy with other pieces of work. However I’m almost there, should be able to post some pics soon of some mock ups. So stay tuned….
Recently i have been very interested in the psychology behind first impressions and various stereotypes we all so easily impose upon one another. Just a little personal project ive wanted to finish for a while now. 
noun
a preconceived idea or prejudice.
Bit of a sneak preview of a current project, all things ‘frolicsome’.
Frolicsome
adjective
lively and playful.
“Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.”
Zine to be seen, soon…….
This image is my submission for the ‘Beards & Tiaras’ exhibition being held soon in Scotland. My piece is based on a group of guys called ‘The Chai Boys’ who are a group within the ANP. (Afghan National Police) They are subject to a system which i can only explain as prison rules. Its a sticky subject for sure, but definitely goes with the theme of the exhibition.
My delicately dirty style takes inspiration from current affairs, topical news and humorous situations.
Using striking high contrast colours mixed with pencil, I like to draw upon the royal grandeurs that have been so popular throughout European history.
As well as freelance illustration I like to partake in many other areas within the creative world, organizing exhibitions across the UK and collaborating with inspiring and inventive people.
Open to your thoughts commissions and collaborations
