I’ve been producing a number of editorial illustrations for the Grocer magazine recently and have thoroughly enjoyed doing so.

Sneak-peak of an illustration I’ve been working on for The Grocer. Final image will be put in my portfolio, once published. Really enjoying this method of working at the moment, all hand-drawn line work, then digitally coloured. Nice to work on such a large ‘scene-type’ image too. Art Direction: Stuart Milligan.

Some of my portrait work has been featured in a new book ‘1000 portrait illustrations’, the latest addition to the 1000 series, published by Quarry. If you’re interested in contemporary digital portraiture, it’s well worth a look with the inclusion of over 150 artists.
