My aim is always to provide elegant and intelligent images that can communicate quite complex ideas, but also create a mood of pleasantly tongue in cheek fun, whether creating a complex narrative scene or a simple piece of editorial or branding work.

Currently, the majority of my practice is in comics and mixed media work, but I always come back to the foundational elements of drawing and watercolour.
