About me
I have been a professional artist, illustrator and graphic designer for just over 11 years now. My works range from concept, character and creature art for games, cards, books and smaller independent films to graphics and brand design, to designs for web, mp3 covers, realistic pencil portraiture and book illustrations/graphic novels.
My most recent work has been for Ubisoft through Dire Wolves on Rainbow Six Siege doing character/skin design work. Before that, I had done work for Reset Nation LLC, for whom I produced a mixture of concept art and promotional work for the championship of the League of Legends game.
Last year I landed an interview with Weta Workshop and am now under consideration for future freelance opportunities with them.
In 2019, I was fortunate enough to get onto a short concept art course in Paris, run by John Howe himself, and to be taught by him while creating a cinematic ready concept art piece.
Other recent works I took most enjoyment from, mainly for the fantastical themes, was the oracle card art, 'Simply Dragons', and tarot; 'The Witch of Moon's Lane', based in Australia. For these, I created two decks of digitally/hand painted cards. I was also in charge of the packaging, book layout and design, and various promotional pieces for the websites. The 'Dragon Path Oracle Cards' have since been published by Watkins.
Having graduated from a Masters in Graphic Storytelling at the University for Creative Arts in Epsom (UK), and from my BA Illustration course at Bournemouth Arts University in 2011. My experiences on the MA Graphic Storytelling course have enhanced and broadened my skill set, along with my ability to work quickly, under extreme pressure to very tight deadlines, for which I am now highly trained and experienced with.
One of my end goals is to write and illustrate my own book series, and in 2021 I managed to publish my first book; 'Short Stories for Shadow Seekers: A Triad of Fragmented Folktales'. I have subsequently been working on illustrating and writing more of my own work.
