About me

'm a Northern Irish illustrator and designer residing in Madrid, Spain. I create narrative driven images for clients in entertainment, film, publishing, editorial and advertising. My signature style is characterized by dramatic and atmospheric lighting, thoughtful composition and strong colour palettes. Using both traditional and digital tools and carefully implemented typography, I channel my love of film, books, comics and nature at it’s most epic into my work. I'm represented in the US and Canada by RappArt.
