A bit about me: I am currently working as a freelance illustrator based in Bristol, UK. My previous clients include the Terrence Higgins Trust, the Marine Biological Association, the Peninsula Medical School and Adbusters magazine. I create versatile images for a wide range of purposes (web, exhibitions, magazines, greetings cards, clothing...) using stencils, spraypaint, silkscreen and digital techniques. My self initiated work is often inspired by political and social issues, music and nature.

Influences: Graffiti, nature, travel, music, TV, signs, logos, festivals, magazines, Bim, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Zezao, Mau Mau, Mode 2, Yoshitomo Nara, Aya Takano, Stanley Donwood, Jamie Hewlett, Simone Lia, Ralph Steadman, Ron English, Hundertwasser, Peter Kuper, Lucy McLauchlan, David Foldvari, high-art, low-art, creative resistance.

Education: BA (Hons) Design: Illustration, University of Plymouth
