About me
Born, bred and based in London, I am an illustrator and designer who's personal work is influenced by surrealism, spirituality and sci-fi themes. I love to explore the marriage between subjects that traditionally are on opposite ends of the spectrum, i.e. art and science. I mostly translate this into digital drawings using moody colours and unnatural lighting. Futuristic theories intrigue me - I am drawn to cyberpunk aesthetics and the concept of other worlds. You might be able to tell this through my personal and professional work! Alongside this, I am also a designer and concept artist - I am multifaceted and while my roots lie in illustration, I have experience in creative direction, editing and photography (just to name a few!). I always appreciate messages of any kind, so please let me know if you want to work together, have any feedback/questions or just fancy a chat! I will always respond.

FOUR PENTACLES very much takes inspiration from the story of King Midas, the man who wished that everything he touched turned to gold. When his wish was granted, it wasn't long before he found pain and misery. The me

  • THE DEVIL
    THE DEVILAs part of an ongoing tarot card project, I present to you THE DEVIL. Based off the traditional Rider-Waite Tarot cards and their meanings, my aim is to re-visualise the cards and their messages in my own authentic style - incorporating sci-fi, surrealist and ancestral themes. THE DEVIL symbolises raw desire and points to the negative aspects of excess pleasure, dealing with themes of sex, materialism and addiction. THE DEVIL is not a separate entity, but rather the animalistic part of us that
