Style:
My illustration work needs to be tight and accurate to reflect
the requirements of the brief. I also enjoy experimentation,
looser and more decorative work.
Inspiration:
comes from everywhere and everything, e.g. music,
dreams, stories, conversations and nature.
Artists from Cotman to Picasso.
Hobbies:
