BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Nottingham, now based in London, I
have been a full-time illustrator since September 2006
after graduating from University in Buckinghamshire,
England. I hold my pen in a funny way but it works just
fine for me. I’ve built up an impressive list of commissions
working in editorial, advertising, publishing and T-shirt
design for clients including The Guardian, It’s Nice That,
Milou-Dufay, Templar, Orange UK and Dentsu London.
The inspiration for my work comes from mid-century design
and illustration. My style has been described as being
retro-modern. I use old books, postcards and pieces of
paper for the backgrounds to my illustrations which often,
for example, involves buying an old book from a charity
shop just to use it’s back cover!
