Allergy Adventures
This was a set of children's books I illustrated for Allergy Adventures. It is about teaching your child how to tell others about their allergy and stay safe around food.
RED SANDS by CAROLINE EDEN
After the success of her first book 'Black Sea' designed by Ape, I was commissioned again to help create the elements for the cover of this half travelog half cookbook. I was asked to create movement and shapes using paper, that would be adapted for the cover for use with a foil print. I also created the map in a similar style.

BLACK SEA by CAROLINE EDEN
I was commissioned by Ape to create an illustration for the cover of this half travel half cookbook. Designed by Dave Brown at Ape, he asked me to create the waves from paper, that he would then adapt for the cover for use with a foil print. I also created the map in a similar style.

These are the original paper elements I used to create the final effect, along with a drawing of the authors dog, Darwin.
PIZZA PILGRIMS
Dave at Ape was designing a book for this growing pizza chain. He needed a 'hand' in a particular style to match the design of the 'pizza box' cover. I used ProCreate to draw it in a woodcut style.

o2 ARENA
I was commissioned by ThinkFarm to paint a bar scene including some of the greatest performers of all time for the O2 arena. It was a huge challenge, under an extremely tight deadline. After planning the layout, I then chose to paint individual groupings before compositing the whole scene together at the end.
FEARNE & HOLLY
I was asked by Dave at Ape to create some 'hand crafted' title elements for this book about best friends.
THE MIGHTY BOOSH - OUTRAGE CARDS
The challenge of painting all of the characters from The Boosh for this giveaway card game, was not a small one. But I think I did pretty well in the end!
FOLDED FEATHER
This was a poster I painted and designed for a puppeteer Oliver Smart. It was a combination of acrylic on wood, felt and iron transfer.
