I am an Illustrator and Creative Director with 16 years’ experience in traditional mediums showing my art in the UK & internationally.
I specialise in surreal and otherworldly imagery, and my work has been featured by Aardman Animations, Workman Press, and more. I have always been fascinated by otherwordly imagery and my work explores folkloric themes and my own fears based on films I shouldn't of watched as a child.As the Creative director at Spiral Circus Games, my stangest ideas pour into this melting pot and surface as game ideas.
Our debut title ‘Silt’ has been praised worldwide for its strong art style and intriguing world design. It is available now and we are busy making game two.I love bringing a strange twist to projects, be it books, fine art shows, murals or games - get in touch if you would like to collaborate.
