A commission for the Oxford American magazine, "The Southern Magazine of Good Writing". My illustration accompanied a short story entitled "Something You Can't Live Without" by Matthew Neill Null.
I've started work on a fold out book, which tells the story of a private detective tracking an illusive character, with a suspicious looking brief-case. I hope to complete this in the near future, so watch this space!
This image was commended at the Cheltenham Illustration awards, "Travellers Tales" competition. It depicts the journey of alcohol smugglers through the mountains during the prohibition in America. The idea developed from my research into periods of American history and 'Americana' in general.
Work inspired by American fire-watchmen of the early 1900's. Being posted on the highest points of the wilderness, fire-watchmen often lived a lonely life, guarding the surrounding areas from potential wild fire.
I haven't posted anything in a very long time now, but I have been working hard. Here is some of my newest work, and hopefully I won't fall behind on the updating again!
The first few images are taken from the "Across the Way" show at the Here Gallery, Bristol, quite a while back now. my work was based on differing approaches to hunting.
