ABOUT

I am a freelance Illustrator , Graphic Designer and Author living on the south coast of Dorset UK. I have always enjoyed art which inspired me to study HND Natural History Illustration and Graphic Design at Bournemouth Arts Uni.

I occasionally add some freebies and blog about my work with some “how to tips” on traditional and digital illustration, so keep your eyes peeled or even better click the “follow blog” to get updates via your email. I am also available for bespoke projects and commissions – just fill out the contact form with your details and I will get right back to you. In the meantime, here’s a little process video of my current work for my new book called

“The North Wind Bear.”

Motivation is the Key

My Illustration Process

My Illustration Process Something I’ve been asked quite a few times about the process of my artwork in terms of transferring a rough sketch to a finished digital piece of work.

Magic Wand Tales

Magic Wand Tales children’s book After four months of continuous work, one of my projects is finally complete and has now been submitted to several publishers. My children’s book is based on the magical world of a witch’s cat. A great project that stretched my illustration and design skills to the max!
