I'm going to use this section to say a little about me, what I do and how i do it.

Well, a bit about me. I'm a 29 year old chap who loves to draw and make images for print and screen. I have a little studio section in a messy room with a Mac, a scanner and all manner of hands-on materials to play with.

This section will also act as a miscellaneous gallery as well, displaying a few bits and bobs such as photos, videos and general titbits that may be of interest. I will add to this page as and when I find things of interest, so keep your eyes peeled!

My visual communication background spans over a decade although I would say have a lifetime of drawing experience behind me.

I would describe myself as a graphic artist who takes a keen interest in all aspects of illustration and design. The foundations of my work are direct observation, research and documentation and I often infuse a playful sense of humour into my finished imagery, which is representative of how much I enjoy my vocation!

I am available for all aspects of freelance work. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you wish to make an enquiry.

STOP PRESS!!

Over the past few years I have worked closely with the Dept of Imaging and Communication Design at De Montfort University. I am very happy to announce that at the start of this academic year will be tutoring level three Graphic Design and Illustration students on two splendid modules.

I am really enthusiastic about working with level three GDIL students as the course consistently produces very talented and passionate image makers!

I have a working knowledge of many areas of design and illustration, but I situate my practice in multimedia design specialising in Adobe Create Suite and specifically photoshop. I am fluent in the use of this application and I can broadly apply it to any aspect of design.

My illustrative technique brings together hand drawn imagery, scanned texture and colour through a unique layer blending technique. Click on the image above to view an animated b breakdown of how I achieve this. Its a bit old but still very valid.
