I am an illustrator based in Manchester specialising in highly detailed pen and ink illustration with a Gothic twist. I have worked on a variety of projects including film, editorial, children's publishing and books, and I am keen to produce more illustration for Middle Grade, YA and adult publishing.
Alongside my illustration work I also enjoy working on private commissions and my own self-initiated illustrations, which have been exhibited and sold across the UK. With my self-initiated work I like to experiment and play around new ideas and techniques, which I then apply to my commissioned and commercial work.
With all my work; commissioned and personal, I aim to create an image that captures the distinct atmosphere of the moment in the story I am illustrating. Within the intricate detail of each piece I often hide subtle indications to the rest of the story or article, creating a visual exploration for the viewer in which there is always something new to find.
If you have a brief or commission in mind, or would simply like to ask me a question please get in touch. I'd love to help you by creating something distinctive and unique.
