With a graphic design career spanning over 10 years, I am a BA graduate of

Reading University in Typography & Graphic Communication. After a decade

of being inspired and evolving my own illustration technique I have only recently

decided to take the leap from designer to illustrator in the last couple of years.

 

The majority of my work is developed from hand drawn sketches to Illustrator

with a mix of Photoshop and in some cases screen printing and my own photography.

 

My inspiration comes from many forms ranging from old French advertising posters,

the works of Saul Bass, illustrator Charley Harper to old Penguin book covers found

in dusty old bookshops.

 

I have received commissions from various book publishers and magazines including

Chrysalis Books, Portico, Pearson Education and When Saturday Comes football

magazine. Other clients have included the Financial Times, Sotheby's, ITV, Blue-Zoo

and Shots Magazine. I look forward to any new work that comes my way. Long may it continue.
