Radio Times Commission

I was delighted to be contacted by the Radio Times a few weeks ago to create a quick turnaround job. The design illustrates accompanies an article on BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra Stories: Chris Stark’s Dry Diary, as the presenter gives up alcohol for a month to investigate why more young people are abstaining from alcohol altogether. My design focuses on a young women stamping on some (rather scared looking!) alcoholic drinks and to emphasize the foot I gave the whole design a weird looking perspective!

Inner Circle Magazine Cover

Happy New Year everyone!

A few months ago I was back in touch with Inner Circle magazine (who I've illustrated for on several occassions). I created the cover illustration for the new issue of the online magazine (the magazine for alumni of Regents College). The new issue contains a story on the new school of fashion and textiles, but I wanted to stay away from the traditional images of fashion (models and high fashion clothes) as much as possible and focus on the making. To get this across I drew loads of giant bits of equipment such as sewing machines, scissors and an iron, to focus on the making side of things. You can see the whole magazine here. 

Top Sante Dreams Illustrations

I was asked back to create 2 more illustrations for this months Top Sante magazine. The feature I was given to illustrate was on dreams, taking control of them to solve problems, in therapy and  to wake up happier. The lady in the piece is managing to harness the power of dreams to  get over a relationship. In the second smaller illustration the same character is dreaming of a scenario she wants to solve so has taken an image of the problem to bed with her to help her mind focus on it when she dreams. The illustrations are in November's issue of the magazine.

Top Sante Magazine

A month or 2 ago I was asked to create 3 illustrations for the Therapy issue of Top Sante magazine. My brief was to illustrate 3 new types of therapy, (interacting with horses, art therapy and even getting therapy over skype). I wanted to illustrate the calming influence of these alternative forms of therapy on patients so created 3 magical countryside scenes in the background to complement the main form of therapy happening in each piece. You can see my illustrations in May's issue on sale now.

Pretty Nostalgic Magazine

I illustrated an article for the lovely vintage inspired Pretty Nostalgic magazine. This particular piece was about the rise of the underground supper club. I wanted to get across the magical and fantastical nature of the supper club happening in secret locations in cities all round the UK (hence the cityscape with the world of the supper club happening beneath our very feet!). The illustrations are in May’s issue.

Angels & Urchins

I recently completed this illustration for Angels and Urchins Magazine. The illustration accompanies an article by Lucy Mangan about maternal rage, and not putting up with any nonsense since she became a Mum! I created the image by producing a sketch which I then coloured in in Photoshop. Best of all the client loved it!
