In this, our city
Wahey! It’s done! This has been my project for the last few weeks. I’ve always loved drawing cities and I stupidly thought that this would be a pushover. Instead, I […]

‘I am not alone’
Another creative writing competition! When I planned this one last August, I honestly hadn’t anticipated our glorious government being quite so incompetent as to take us back to square one […]

Out of Place

London Calling
London Calling is my latest poster for schools – intended as inspiration for the 2012 Tower Hamlets Creative Writing Competition. It’s also the most ambitions and complex piece I’ve worked […]

Crossing the line

Time, Turmoil, Transformation
Until I was asked to add the city and the hand this was an ink drawing coloured on Photoshop.

Love and Hate
This is the original uncensored poster with guns and knives intact. The brief was a contemporary art take on Romeo and Juliet, until a couple of head teachers decided that […]

Mirrors, Masks, Secrets
Mirrors, Masks, Secrets was the first creative writing competition poster that I worked on, a blend of 3DS Max and Photoshop that had to be completed in one evening after […]
