Profile

Currently based in Scotland I’ve been working professionally as an illustrator since 2014. I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients on projects spanning comics to concept design on films. Having spent a number of years in Japan in a previous life as a teacher its influence tends to find its way into my work quite frequently. With a great love of things science, tech and sci-fi my creative imagination seems to be firmly captured with ideas about the future. The grit and grime of the cyberpunk genre has been a much returned to theme in my illustrations. I grew up loving the lived in worlds of Blade Runner, Alien, Star Wars and all the films that utilised the “used future” aesthetic where every object has a history. My work tends to be layered with details that when examined can tell more of a story and even recontextualise what you saw before. I want the viewer to see new things when they return to the image a second, third or fourth time. Clear inspirations that can be seen are those of Geoff Darrow, Jean Giraud Moebius and Katsuhiro Otomo. Previous clients include: Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Marvel, DC comics, Paramount, Universal, Legendary, Warner Bros, Columbia Pictures, Lucasfilm, Fox, Blizzard entertainment, EA games, Ubisoft, Empire magazine, SciFi Now, Metallica, Shep Films.
