Award Winner

With an innate love for creating humorous illustrations, I aim to bring joy and laughter to an audience through the use of simplistic yet amusing drawings.

I have applied my bold style to an art book entitled, ‘What the Hell Is Going On?’. This explores the weird and wonderful things going on in my brain in the hope that people can relate to it. Through this project, I have gained a real interest in illustrating for publishing whilst exploring the subject matter I am passionate about.

I also created large-scale prints that have a real ability to light up a room and make people think. Because of this, I believe the work would be particularly effective within an advertising context.

After my degree, I plan to have a real focus on investing my time into applying my artwork to merchandise and products, making my work saleable, thus expanding my audience.
