Illustration

I create images for publications, events, music releases, etc. I enjoy working either to a brief or under my own steam, creating colourful, atmospheric images with texture and depth. My work often involves a combination of model-making, photography, painting and drawing. Have a look at some of my work below or explore recent illustrations, ideas and works in progress on my blog and don't hesitate to get in touch if you think my style might be suitable for your project.

Publications & clients include: Ammo Magazine, Amelia's Magazine, Victoria & Jacob, 93 Feet East (Scenery Chewer, 90 Free CDs), ABC (abc-project.org), KDict, Varsity Newspaper, U8 Magazine, Epigram Newspaper, Hannah Waldram (hrwaldram.co.uk), The Hill Magazine (Cambridge)

Web & Graphic Design

I design and produce websites (and other work which stems from them - logos, leaflets, posters, etc) for individuals and small businesses. Have a look at some of my work below and please send me an email if you'd like me to help with one of your projects - I'll get back to you straight away and we can discuss what I can do for you and how much it would cost.

Looking for something different to what you've seen here? It'd still be great to hear from you - I love working on new projects and generating completely new ideas, and I'm equally comfortable working with any specific ideas you might already have in mind. I do my best to deliver something unique and appropriate for each project.

Tailored Texts

I'm the designer and co-founder of Tailored Texts which is a free, collaborative project that aims to foster the creation and sharing of context-based definitions, explanations and other annotations for the thousands of public domain e-books available online. I'm in charge of the look and feel of everything you can see on the site, from the logo in the header to the colours of links in the footer and everything in between.

Poo John is a sensitive, soul-singing robot who's more in touch with his feelings than your average android. He enjoys cups of tea, hanging out with his friend Bill and grappling with the significance of his own existence.
