Scamps

Recently I have been fortunate enough to do a lot of scamping in the design projects I have been involved in.

Gingerbread Ted

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I adore gingerbread men.

It has been something I have wanted to draw for a little while now and after a busy beginning to the year, I managed to find some time to work this little guy up. Read more »

Winter update

I know I have been a little slack with post updates of late, but fortunately this is due to me being really busy with a combination of freelance design work and illustration commissions.

Since January, I have worked across London for some fantastic design agencies, working on a variation of dynamic and exciting projects. Read more »

Happy New Year folks…

What better way to start it off then with an illustration of a Yeti. This file will be available to purchase from my iStock portfolio.

Hello…

Welcome to my deepest, darkest thoughts and creations… Well, actually it is just my blog, but you know what I mean.

I will be regularly updating my blog (*cough* maybe) with sketches, doodles and any exciting news that comes my way.

The chance are that the cartoons will more often than not be inappropriate and childish, but to be honest that is what I love about what I do – I get to create these crazy little worlds where I can entertain myself and hopefully you all too.

Thanks for dropping by. If you have enjoyed my work, why not leave a comment…
