The pencil is primarily my best friend. The most basic of tools, it can do extraordinary things. With it, I recreate life as we see it using patterns, lines, texture, tone, and, hopefully, a mood.
My influences are first and foremost everything I see, feel and experience. Using the natural world and surrealism, I often transform my subjects by contrasting and reworking them, capturing an air of curiosity. From ice-cream-brains to gun bunnies, I try to take a tongue- in-cheek approach to my artwork; after all it should be fun!
I have illustrated a number of books to date, including 'Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist' for Running Press, as well as the 'What Was....'series for Penguin Young Readers Group. Other clients include Nike, Arte, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Telegraph Magazine, Le Monde and BBC.
