My illustrations have appeared in everything from dental journals to angling books. I know what it takes to produce top quality, print-ready artwork to tight deadlines and get everything delivered on time and at a competitive rate.
Below are a few examples of my extensive portfolio, but please contact me if you are unsure whether I can fulfil your brief – I have extensive experience and have dealt with many difficult projects. Please also see my Design Portfolio page for examples of some of my design products, and my Firefly Art page for personal commissions.
1. Book illustration characters – The examples below were taken from a recent collaborative project with SpareParts and Minerva Arts and were used in a booklet to celebrate the Sandbach Transport Festival.
