When I left school I had no idea what I wanted to do, good at drawing in school I was gently pushed towards art college, instead I followed my friends into an apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker. But, as at school my exercise books soon contained more sketches and cartoons than actually engineering work. I eventually found myself back at the steps of the Art college where I trained as a graphic designer.
Over years of working in busy design studios I tended to be the one called upon for any quick last minute illustrations needed to fill a gap on a page here and there. When made redundant in 1992 I worked for the next five years as a freelance illustrator before setting up my own graphic design business. My Illustration style differs depending on the subject matter and the brief from the client, who I work closely with to provide the desired result. I can design characters to promote your products or venue and I also write and illustrate adventure stories and have extensive experience working with a variety of venues and attractions.
• Heritage railways
• Castles
• Theme parks
• Holiday sites
• Garden centre chains
Additionally, I can offer full-service design and artwork service and with my contacts in the print industry offer a full management service for print, photography, and copy writing to fulfil all your marketing needs.
