About Me

I am a Third Year Illustration student. I like to set goals high and allow myself to be influenced by the beauties of the world around me. I am not specific in terms of genre or purpose, I like the challenge!

Excuse me Sir, this backlog is too big...

WOW! I haven't updated anything for nearly 3 months! But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy!

I've tried to put these in the best order possible...

Old chap in a pub in Stroud, Gloucestershire...



Two characters I began to design for a Steampunk adventure story...


Inspiration from my Dad and Cousin playing snooker in Wales...



Some pieces I did whilst out for a drink with my Dad in Wolverly. A news reporter and a new version of 'Super-mon'...


Wolverine and a illustration I did on the way to Southend. My mum had been worrying the day before about me being safe once I got into London so I did this for her...


A rather spiffing chap on the Tube from Aldgate...


When visiting friends, don't stop working :)...


Waiting for my pub lunch with the parents. 'Cause Trekkies do it better...


The collection of pieces are out of my sketchbooks that I continued to work on during a family canal holiday. From Wrenbury to Wales to Nantwich...


Elderly couple and their Golden Retriever outside a cafe in Nantwich, Cheshire...
Sketches in between steering the barge...

Got 'rained in' as we were traveling to Llangollen, Wales so took inspiration from the NME Amy Winehouse tribute cover...

Starting drawing the oldies that seemed to swarm and stare at the barges. I believe the correct term for them is 'Gangooglers'...or something similar. May develop these odd little creatures more...


The day previous I couldn't get much done as I was needed, so this was more of an illustrated command...

Experimenting with acrylics and matching words, typography and illustrations. This is the first line of a poem I devised, hopefully to become a bigger illustrated piece...


I coloured my Max (Where the Wild Things Are) illustration that I used for my t-shirt prints. Apologies for the scan line, had to scan it in 2 sections because it was too big to scan in one go...

 And finally, 'Mar ol mon from th' Black Countray' (My Dad from the black Country). This is based on my Dad. As a note he looks nothing like this but it's my perception of our roots in the Black Country. I am very proud of the Black Country history, people and especially accent!

Phew! That was a lot. But enough for now :)
Toodle-pip!
