Amwell Springs Brew Co. illustrations
animation, graphic design, illustration, slightly unsavoury, workI’ve been working with my good friends at Oxfordshire’s @asbrewco to develop a custom illustration for each beer from their core four. This is a series very close to my heart & was especially rewarding to see our hard work come to fruition on tap badges, beer mats & other bits & bobs around my home town. Exceptional beer too!

iStock contributor – yay!
illustration, mild mannered things, workI’ve recently been accepted as a vector illustration contributor on iStock. This means a selection of my illustrations are available for purchase at a very reasonable rate and can be used as they are or individual elements selected & edited as desired using any vector software like Adobe Illustrator.
Very small start, and a challenge to know what & when to produce – both in terms of style & subject, but a start nonetheless : )

L&N’s wedding illustration
mild mannered thingsI haven’t been to many, but I love a good wedding. That little nugget of a golden day, either playing out perfectly or hiccups-a-plenty, when you get to see someone you love get flooded with it from all corners. Leonie & Nick’s was proper. I laughed, I got a bit weepy, and a bit tipsy, and I did the conga! Thank you so much for such an amazing day shared with the two of you.
The invites, the dress, the flowers, the food, everything was perfectly designed from start to finish, even her p’interest board was beautiful! I wanted to create them a special gift, a wedding illustration that fit in with their vision for the day, their own sense of style, and things that were personal to them as a couple. I think they liked it 🙂
Bah, Humbug!

Gilead
digital art, illustration, work
A recently completed commission for ‘Gilead’.
Co-Written by Jo McKinney-Green & Tamsin Urquhart. This is an original production inspired by Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ & was performed for Brighton Fringe 2014.
An illustration with the right drama took some development for such a powerful production. Here are a couple of iterations.
