Great to be part of the new look 200th issue of the Observer Food Monthly with an illustration of the American singer-songwriter Randy Newman to kick off the new year. I've been producing a piece for the 'Lunch With' section since 2011 so it's nice to still be on board for the stylish re-design.
The Instagram travel sketches have been a big success this year, so much so that I thought it fitting with the help of a wonderful short film maker Chris Hopkins to put together a profile of myself, my thoughts & working methods. It was a great experience & provides a little insight into an average day once I'm out there looking for inspiration to hit me.
Delighted to be asked to be part of this month's Elite Traveler Magazine with an illustration of what it's like to experience private midnight fine dining in Le Grand Palais, Paris
Look what came through the post this week. Delighted with the results of this end of season report for F.A. Wales Magazine from the guys at Departure Design
Delighted to be working with the designers putting together the University of Aberdeen's Postgraduate Prospectus for 2018. I provided an illustrated map, illuminating just some of the major attractions to this vibrant city
It's been quite a big undertaking working alongside everyone at FA Wales Magazine with some 8 full page reportage style illustrations taking a little over two months from start to finish. In a season that saw Cardiff host the finals of the UEFA Champions League, it was a real treat to be asked to contribute to the 2016/17 end of season review.
A quick turnaround for Credit Suisse & Bulletin magazine. This time, the reportage style takes a look at 'The New Asia' & how this region of the world is fast becoming one of the largest economic powers
A fast illustration editorial turnaround for the Daily Telegraph. This time on the subject of apprenticeships & how they can give a young person the chance to earn more money with better opportunities than most college graduates.
A project that took up most of last year on & off so i'm happy to see the results from working with Moving Brands, the creative agency based in San Fransisco in connection with one of New York's largest property & real estate management companies Transwestern.

Delighted to be asked back to illustrate a piece for the Daily Telegraph. This time for the weekend food & drink section, in which the Blur bassist Alex James discusses his fantasy festive feast with guests ranging from Sir Isaac Newton, his wife Clare & the actor Chris Pratt
Another book cover illustration pops through the letterbox. This time a design for the novel by Antal Szerb from the small publishing house Pushkin Press. A major classic of 1930's literature, Journey By Moonlight tells the darkly funny story of a bourgeois businessman torn between duty & desire
Its always nice when a publishing company spots the potential for a cover from one of my non-commissioned paintings. This time it was the fantastic group Ufficio Iconografico based in Torino Italy. The painting entitled 'Man' that sold a couple of years ago to Connie Mitchell, lead singer of the pop group Sneaky Sound System, was picked to grace the cover of famous novelist & one time anti-mafia judge Gianrico Carofiglio's new book L'estate Fredda.
Good to be asked back to create another cover for the Global Blue Shop Magazine, this time in the reportage style & focusing on the many historic department stores situated in the beautiful city of Gothenburg
It was an honour to be asked by Variety Magazine in the U.S. to take on a story that makes it to the cover. Commissions like these don't come around that often & i'm really pleased with the end result. Summer Redstone's daughter Shari is looking to seize control of her fathers immense media empire, will she succeed?
Great to be asked back to illustrate a new housing development happening in the former BBC Television Centre in West London for the Telegraph's Luxury Magazine
Delighted to be part of this project in collaboration with Linton, an investment group dedicated to creating luxury real estate in the Kentish Town area of north London.

A set of brand new portraits to accompany an online article for the Wall Street Journal in connection with men's fashion trends for Spring 2016
You win some & you lose some. A pitch for a series of designs that would have been the basis for a collection of Penguin covers for the author Ian McEwan's most famous titles. The two submitted were Atonement & Enduring Love. Better luck next time!
Delighted to be working with We Launch, a new client based here in London in connection with a re-branding of both JEGI & Clarity media corporations. No mean feat with nearly 30 spot illustrations emphasising how each company operates in the world of M&A advising across Europe & America.
