Illustrator, Author, Dungeon Master
The Bulk of my work is made up of editorial Illustration with clients ranging from small press to national newspapers. I use size play and metaphor to construct a narrative without complicating an image.

I use pattern in many of my illustrations. It’s such a fun way to play with an image, however simple and turn it into something wonderful.
I would receive feedback on roughs like “I would LOVE this as a shirt” and I have to agree. Textile design is something I’m looking to do more of in future.
Fantastic Company based in Dublin. Had the honour of illustrating wheelchair covers for them!
I had the pleasure of illustrating 12 essays for Polygon.com. I had never done editorial illustrations for a video games media platform before, the project allowed me to explore images in ways that not only had to be accessible to a casual observer of the content but also to the more well versed consumer. All the while maintaining a tone and style I would use for any other news publication.
I had a lot of fun with these, big thanks to Chris Sullentrop and Chris Plante for having me on this.

Usually where I develop and experiment with new techniques and ideas. And also where I draw lots of ladders.
