Hello and welcome to my blog! Scroll to see recent work, plus design, illustration, typography, advertising or video gems that I've come across on the wonderful wacky web.

If you’re a wild child and love this design then please vote for it on Threadless. They have a Flower Power competition on right now and there are only seven days left!

A couple of months ago I was illustrating an ancient treebound spirit called Iubhair and now I'm happy to share it here on my #VersusEvil trading card. Created for @hireillo to be launched at @thoughtbubblefestival (13-14 Nov). Look for table 42 in the Redshirt hall.

I’ve been illustrating different wildflower species this year and while the collection is slowly growing I thought I’d use what I’ve drawn so far to make a pretty gif. If you’re a wild child and like this design you can get it on a shirt or other products on my Redbubble store by clicking this link here. All sales on my marketplace sites are helpful right now since I’ve moved countries and have to rebuild my design connections!

Saturday 20th of March is spring equinox in the northern hemisphere. We’ll have equal amounts of light and dark. Then the days will be longer with earlier sunrises, later sunsets, softer winds, and sprouting of seeds. I’ll be looking forward to all the colourful flowers and bees in peoples front gardens in my neighbourhood.

If you like this bee pattern you can find it on my Redbubble store.

A new illustration inspired by the playful moment between the octopus and the fish, in the Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher. The diver realises in this moment that this non-human species that he has been observing for almost a year, has its own personality. It was a beautiful film and I wish every person in the world could form this type of connection with another species.

I’ve created these single-line illustrations for Colours of Edinburgh and their online campaign for International Womens Day 2020 celebrating extraordinary refugee women who are breaking boundaries globally.

It's the season for hayfever here in the UK but it's also the season for pretty flowers. Here is a lil piggy enjoying them.  Note: I just found out after drawing this that a lot of flowers are toxic to pigs, so if you have one, don't let them near flowers 🐷🌸💀

I stand with the young people striking for urgent climate change on March 15 by taking part in the @kidlit4climate campaign. Here is my virtual protest illustration. Let no more animals like this Spix Macaw become extinct! https://www.instagram.com/p/Buzo2Heny0f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q0j57udxbktb

Are you as yummy as a Pain au chocolat?

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been around for YEARS but I only started watching it at the end of 2018. It didn’t take me long to power through all the episodes and now I’ve finished watching it, I’m missing Charlie, Frank, Dee, Dennis and Mac :( I’ve taken Mac’s classic 'cultivating mass’ line and paired it with a birthday cake. It could be the perfect card for another IASIP fan out there. 

Check out the cards here:
