About
I am a Scottish illustrator who primarily works digitally or with ink.
The core inspiration of my work lies within the mountains of old video-games I would play when I was small. I was always enamoured by the obscure and strange, yet charming worlds to be explored and the characters to meet in these old games. I have continued to hold on to this love and aspire to create work which is narrative and character focused, capturing stories within all of my work. As such, I have worked on producing two graphic novels as my personal projects this year.
I enjoy incorporating expressive, graphic lines in my work. I also enjoy not taking myself too seriously, testing the boundaries and suspending belief when it comes to my work. Things are more fun if they're a little bit silly.
V&A Tartan Poster
A poster designed to promote the V&A Tartan exhibition. For this brief, I wanted to explore the links between Tartan and the Punk scene. This poster is inspired by posters for punk shows.
Page from Book Project
A page from my book project, in which I created a comic that explores my re-occurring experiences with sleep paralysis.
