Commercial/Private Illustration

For the past 30 years I’ve made my sole living from commercial illustration work from newspapers, magazines, logos, advertising, design, private commissions and everything in-between! It’s been hard work but so rewarding too.

Should you feel inspired to commission me either you’re in business or if it’s a private commission for an anniversary gift, wedding invitation, birth announcement etc please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss what you need.
