TOUR OF A UNIVERSE.

Based on the format of the legendary ‘Panther Science Fiction’ paperbacks from the 70s and early 80’s, whose covers were graced by so many of the greats from the golden age of science fiction illustration, I always found the simplicity of composition, from fonts to image crops, is what made them so captivating.

Tour of a Universe project was my homage to those covers.

Prints are available as the faux covers, or as illustrations only.

AUTO.

Having started professional life as a motorcycle designer, I’ve always had an appreciation, and understanding, for automotive design; it’s something that’s in your blood and never leaves.

My AUTO. art is not about creating big, glossy, illustrations but rather attempting to capture the spirit of the greats in the simplest possible way. Car lovers will be able to identify those I portray through the hallmarks of their personality – their characteristic profiles, or unique details.

…and yes, I am open to commissions.

BIKES.

I worked within the cycling industry for 20+ years, during which time I did an awful lot of stuff. What I learnt in that time is that riding a bike means different things to different people, and there are all sorts of reasons people choose to do it.

My BIKE. art, applied to Tshirts, is a combination of tongue-in-cheek fun, and an expression of opinions. Like everything in life, what I do is not to everyone’s liking, and that’s perfectly OK.

KENDŌ.

If you are a practitioner of Kendō, then you understand that once you start, you will spend your life attempting to perfect it; it can easily become all consuming. So why not show your dedication… even if many won’t quite understand what they are looking at?

Fueled by a strong appreciation of not only the traditions but also Kendō’s historic roots, my KENDŌ. range is kept simple, classic and understated.

FAN ART.

Where nostalgia meets mashups or just good old tips of the hat. My Fan Art. is about the things that I loved growing up and still love now. From mecha to British sci-fi, I like to have fun with the icons...

RANDOM ART.

Illustrations I have done that have been popular as prints...
