Musician turned artist. I have a keen devotion to people, podcasts and the piano - though not necessarily in that order.

| 关于此艺术家 |
"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work." - Emile Zola
I have illustrated for books, television, newspapers and multimedia.
Working primarily in pen and ink, and employing digital colouring when requested, my work remains flexible to requirements.
For the children’s market, I have brought to life the characters of the classic story “Beowulf” (Kingfisher Epics); created a community of quirky insects for Clive Tandy’s series ‘Quarry Grove’; and drawn a wealth of ecological cartoons for Blackpool Council and the environmental exhibitions at the award winning Solaris Centre. I was also the cover artist for the DVD release of the children’s cartoon, M.A.S.K.
I have also produced officially endorsed artwork to promote the rock groups ‘Red Hot Chili Peppers’ and ‘My Chemical Romance’ (Sabian Promotions). My detailed illustrations of Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward were part of the line up in Channel 4’s historical documentary ‘Checking Into History’ and I have contributed a host of satirical caricatures for the London broadsheet, The Times.
I have also worked in video game design and storyboards for film and TV commercials. |
