Portfolio
Here is a collection of some of my work through the years!
Over the years I've enjoyed the challenge of painting the human figure, often with a spontaneous, unfinished feel.
In art school I developed an interest in the challenge of capturing figure gestures in a very small amount of time, often as little as 30 seconds or less. Some poses were longer, giving more time for detail and colour, but still very spontaneous.
Having a background in illustration, through the years I have experimented with many styles. I have had illustrations published in various magazines over the years and have sold many (including some shown here) as works of art on their own. All images shown here are of my own creation and concept.
These are a selection of design projects I've worked on as an in-house designer, or for my own clients. The initial design is often my own, or at times using existing brand guidelines. For most projects, my involvement would be from concept to pre-production.
