Personal Projects
Characterful Background Challenge
I wanted to push myself to illustrate a scene with only the setting telling the story. Ink and wash 2018
Cat Beanz
I love it when Fry my cat tucks himself into a perfect contained bean shape to sleep. This was my first time using gouache paints. Of course now I can only see baked beans as purrfect delicious sleeping cats.
Anna and Mr. Fry Headbump
This was a gift for a friend we met while travelling around the Pyrenees who loved our cat Fry. Ink 2020
Topsy Tortoise
I had a 10 minute warning to draw a tortoise for my brother who was about to gift it as an I.O.U to my Mum. Watercolour felt tips 2018
Cat in a Box
Drawn for practise from an image of a stubborn looking cat facing defiantly into a cardboard box. Ink 2017
Vengaboys Cassette
Personal project about my first ever cassette tape being the Vengaboys album. Ink wash and animated in photoshop. 2017
French Swimming Trunk Rules
I drew this while away with my partner in our first van Bertha. It documents an embarrassing lesson learnt at a French public pool. Find out the full story on instagram. Ink and wash with digital colouring 2016
Planet Scotch Egg
Personal project based on a daydream I used to have in Geography lessons. A solid egg core surrounded by a viscous molten mass of sausage (can be a veggie sausage!) enveloped by a vast tectonic crust of breadcrumbs upon which all life is essentially based. Ink and digitally added colour 2017
Alice in Wonderland Cover
My entry for a Plum Pudding Illustration competition to illustrate a new cover. I wanted to challenge the default of Alice being white too, because I believe that all children should be able to see themselves in the stories they read. 2019
Spiderggeadon
Another doodle from our trip away in Bertha in 2016 inspired by the French campsite showers and the friendly inhabitants within. Ink 2016
Christmas Tree Cat
In 2019 I decided to start the tradition of illustrating and designing my own Christmas cards each year for my friends and family, thereby also adding to my greetings card stock at the same time. This was the first design and is based on Fry the cat and my gaudy Christmas jumper. No cats were forced to wear a Christmas jumper in the making of this card. Ink and colouring pencils 2019
Ched-dar Magic
A friend who was battling with anorexia asked me to draw some foods in ways to make them seem less scary. This project was very important for me as I wanted to help in any way I can. The following images of the avocado, 'It's Brie-lliant' and the canoodling are all a part of this series.
Come and Avo Go
It's Brie-lliant

Daisy on Guitar
A personal piece of my neice who got heavily into songwriting at the tender age of 15. Ink and colouring pencils 2017

My take on all of the superheroes having to line up on their school benches for the yearly photo. Personal project. Digital procreate 2017
