  Juxtapoz featureMy work being featured with Juxtapoz magazine.
• Computer Arts editorial magazine coverMy shortlisted entry for the Computer Arts magazine cover competition. The title to accompany the illustration was "New Talent". I wanted to create an image that would depict a struggle and a breakthrough moment. After changing my mind several times an image of a salmon leaping upstream came into my head, I thought this would be very fitting and the salmon would be a representation of a young Illustrator/designer finally breaking through and being discovered. As a young Illustrator with little reputation I often feel like it's a constant and very tough battle against the stream to make a career out of being a creative, so this image is quite personal to me.
• Breaking Bad x Ralph SteadmanI created an Illustration from my favourite Breaking Bad scene which was selected by Ralph Steadman to be exhibited alongside his work for the Breaking Bad dvd release Art exhibition.
