Projects
  • Jungle Explorer - Graphic Print
    Jungle Explorer - Graphic PrintAn illustrated graphic print featuring a character exploring the jungle! Created digitally incorporating traditional hand-made print textures. Working digitally with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and my Wacom, allows me to work with bold shapes and bright colours, but my print work adds depth and an imperfect feel. A travel inspired print!
  • House Plants - Graphic Print Series
    House Plants - Graphic Print SeriesThroughout the last month I have worked on a series of House Plant illustrations, graphic prints, to sell as a series of prints and postcards on my online shop. All inspired by my own collection of plants! Created in a bold, graphic and colourful style using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Astropad, iPad Pro, and hand made Mono Print textures
