Amelia

This is the very first sketch of a big new project I shall be working on in the next 6 months- year. I roughed this 5 minute scribble just to get into paper what Amelia will look like; inquisitive, ambitious, and ready for an adventure. 
The character was written by an author I will be working alongside for this project to bring her to life, I have been given the creative freedom to craft her exactly how I imagine. This is a sneak peek.

Bunny Girl

Here is a brand new illustration which is a character I will be sending out to publishers as part of a new set. My work has consciously taken on a more vintage AND modern feel in regards to fashion, and the characters are still somewhat stylised but also more realistic in their features

Bunny Girl update

Here is a sneak peak of the finished illustration, cleverly titled 'bunny girl' for now. All the post production starts now, I'll be teaming up with my sometimes reliable buddy Photoshop to lay down the colours and bring it to life.

Expressional Work

This is a character sheet I have created of a girl I plan to use in a picture book story. I want to build on my variety of expressions so I am confident in illustrating all kinds of emotions.

Bunny Girl

This is the fourth of a new set of illustrations which introduce a more realistic finish. This is my last girl character before I move onto creating some characters with a bigger breadth of age, including a step-mother type, and a grandfather. I will print these as promo work and send them to publishers.

New character illustration

This is an illustration based on the father character in my first story Piano & the Boy. The style is not at all caricatured unlike the previous character. I am working on a crop of illustrations with this realistic finish, however I do plan to complete my previous stories and continue the more cartoon-like style of Piano & the Boy and Halo.

Girl with pink hair!

This is my brand new illustration I have been perfecting for quite a while. I wanted to evolve my illustration style so it has a more realistic aspect, yet with some slight caricaturing with the larger head comparative to the rest of the body. I also wanted to infuse a style that could be described as both modern and vintage 50s, which is a theme and direction I began with Piano & the Boy and have now consciously continued and refined.

Pudding Lane


This is my reinvisioning of 17th Century London Pudding Lane where the Great Fire began. The famouse St Pauls Cathedral cowers over in the distance, whilst roaming rats and claustrophobically close-knit houses depict the austerity of this period. This piece is for a start up theatre in London to whom I have created several pieces for in the last 2 years.

ITS TIMMMMMMMMMMMEEEE!

This is a poster I designed and illustrated for UFC 150 using different grades of grey pens.

It features MMA fighters from two bouts, Henderson v Edgar & Cerrone v Guillard (with the latter's trademark blonde barnet), and legendary octagon announcer Bruce Buffer hosting precedings in the centre.

Peter Pan illustration

 
This is the original sketch for the Peter Pan piece I have been working on with my regular clients based in London. I have amended the placement of Tinkerbell so her body is incorporated into the title.
