I’ve been producing a number of editorial illustrations for the Grocer magazine recently and have thoroughly enjoyed doing so. The content of the images tend to be weighty enough to really get my teeth into and the scale large enough to sufficiently get lost in detail! Art Direction: Stuart Milligan.

Fresh from the Bank Holiday weekend, this is a new illustration I’ve done for BBC Focus magazine, accompanying an article about the future of robots and the likelihood of them being far more mundane machines than those often portrayed in film.

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.

Spent a couple of days working this up over the Christmas break, a personal piece loosely lifted from W. H. Auden’s poem ‘The Fall of Rome’.

This is the latest illustration I have produced for BBC Focus magazine, to accompany an article about the future of the gaming industry. Though obvious improvements to game-playing would be in graphics and sound, the article explained how games could become emotionally intelligent, reacting and responding to individuals according to information submitted to social media sites. For the illustration, we decided to simply show the game-player sat amongst standard and personalised app icons that were being blasted from the screen, the result of which I am pretty pleased with.
