  Recent Lettering Work (Personal)A small collection of recent bright and colourful personal lettering / calligraphy work. All created on Procreate for the iPad Pro with my own brushes.
• Internal Illustrations for JBcoleI created a large collection of illustrations for use on JBcole's website, internal documents and other promotional material. They had to be happy and positive, and fit well with their existing branding. This was done by making their brand yellow the main colour in the illustrations, and using a similar style to my previous work for their magazine, The Colectiv.
