Lively Scout

illustration of Illustrated packaging design for Bloom Coffee's 'Rise & Shine' range, capturing an uplifting morning ritual — a feeling of warmth and zen that blooms with the rising aroma of a fresh morning cuppa.
illustration of Beer can and carton packaging design for Big NEIPA. The illustration features a modern male character — monocled, hops-bearded, and utterly mind-blown — as he's engulfed in a hazy explosion of tropical stone fruits and vivid psychedelic swirls, bringing the beer's bold flavour personality to life.
illustration of Hand lettered greeting card design series — 'Love, Peace & Rainbows', 'We Make a Perfect Pair' and 'Bring on the Sunshine & Good Times' — bold 1970s retro illustration with ornate ornamentation and vivid colour.
illustration of Tea packaging design for 'The Healing Cup' — inspired by the revitalising effects of herbal tea on our natural energy rhythms. Three flavours for the perfect self-care ritual, from First Sip to Pure Joy, closing the day with a dreamy Night Time.
illustration of Cover illustration for a LA Times special edition celebrating the new year and new beginnings. The concept is rooted in metamorphosis — a female figure surrounded by nature's symbols of renewal. Clouds part to reveal a rising sun, a rainbow arcs across the horizon, and her flowing hair transforms into koi fish, with the new day reflected in her sunglasses. A celebration of change, hope and reinvention.
illustration of Editorial illustration for Mother Jones Magazine — a 70s rock poster-inspired concept featuring Susan Gore in deep transcendental meditation, encircled by flying money and predatory vultures, the Wyoming Supreme Court flanked by a pair of rhinos. Deceptively light and vibrant at first glance, its darker political commentary slowly reveals itself layer by layer.
illustration of Editorial illustration exploring mental health and nature therapy — two female figures leap from a head silhouette into a vibrant, surreal waterscape, capturing the healing power of getting out of your head and into nature.
illustration of Steeped in Light' is an editorial illustration celebrating the natural and enlightening power of tea. A psychedelic-coloured landscape unfolds — a decorative teapot pours into a flowing river flanked by tea bushes, a sunrise warming the horizon. A paper boat drifts on the current as a swallow traces the sky above, the whole scene alive with colour, calm and quiet wonder.
illustration of Editorial illustration for The Big Issue, accompanying an article on the rise of romance fiction. A young couple gaze into each other's eyes, sharing a soda as they emerge from the pages of an open novel against a dreamy, swirling sunset — a celebration of love, escapism and the enduring power of a good story.
illustration of Editorial cover illustration for The Planner Magazine — 'Counter Culture', a feature on cannabis farming in Jersey. A psychedelic female portrait illustration radiates healing, surrounded by cannabis flower, leaf and CBD medicines, blending natural wellness with bold, vivid editorial illustration.
