Professional
Illustrator since 1986, beginning with illustration jobs for small
agencies and studios in my local area. Had a diverse series of jobs,
one of which for a few years was designing and illustrating an entire
range of fabric prints and tee-shirt designs for the only British
surf ware company at the time, SYCHO. Some time after that, I got
involved with children's books and eventually moved into creating
my own, four of which are shown on the site. Currently working on
several new book projects and general commercial work re-touching

I
was inspired some years ago when illustrating the ancient Palace of
Knossos in Crete for a children's encyclopedia (see 'Book Illustrations')
with its Minotaur legend, mazes and labyrinths. I susequently found
myself creating children's books with themes and ideas revolving around
journeys and labyrinths and incorporating things to discover and spot
along the way. These things I find give great scope to increase the
child's awareness and interest in finding things. I also like to add
a fair bit of humor. |
