Selected Work from the Past Few Months
Recent months have brought a varied mix of projects, from editorial illustrations on topics such as cryptocurrency and historical queens, to illustrated poetry and hand-painted flowers for a friend’s wedding invitations.
I’ve also completed a large-scale drawing for a brand commission celebrating 10 years of the Thames Tideway project, marking the completion of London’s new sewer system and its key sites across the city.
