About me

Artist at heart. Bags of experience in editorial, advertising and publishing work—including 14 years illustrating covers for The Economist.

Happy working in both digital and traditional media, and under deadline to bring hard-to-define ideas to life: culture, current affairs, think pieces and finance.

More recently introduced a looser, line-based style to the skill set—this has opened up a whole new creative angle, particularly with portrait work.

Also tutors in illustration, drawing and Photoshop.

Other clients include: Honda, Saatchi & Saatchi, Charlie Brooker, Vodaphone, Wired, Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly and Playboy.
