Illustration BDes (Hons)

My art style is versatile and can vary from cartoonish to lifelike, depending on the piece. I aspire to learn something new in every piece I create.

About

I always have to think a bit whenever I'm asked to describe my style. My artwork can have a different style for every piece, which feels free in a way. It means I never have to feel shoe-boxed into always creating in a certain way.

Art has been a life-long fixation of mine. I feel like it began when I watched cartoons like Samurai Jack or read Spiderman comics when I was little. Due to my autism, emotions have always been easier to read when conveyed in art so that's why I was probably drawn to it; I understood it. Since starting to take art seriously, It's been my goal to make pieces that could inspire others in the way visual media did and still does inspire me. I like to think of myself as an adaptable artist. Meaning that I can confidently create intricate or more cartoonish pieces depending on what's needed. I enjoy learning new ways to create whether that be in subject matter or technique and I feel that each new thing that I learn adds another string to my bow. Overall, I would say that the artists I am the most inspired by today are Alphonse Mucha and Toni Infante. Hopefully one day someone can say the same about me and my work.

Livewire comic book cover image

an image from the perspective of a mass of androids clawing towards a teenage boy who wears a mask as he leaps between buildings. The building tops are in the shape of an eye staring and engulfing the teen in the lone bright pink colour of the dark piece.

This is the cover image for my comic book that I'm making. I wanted it to be something I would see on a shelf and pick up out of curiosity whilst overall still being really nice as a standalone image.

Penguin book cover competition - A brief history of time

A book cover with an exploding orange nebula in an hourglass shape at an angle with a square and two lines intersecting its centre within a dark brown rendition of space.

For this book cover design, I wanted to mesh several concepts together that the book goes over: time, space and a light cone diagram. I referenced the Butterfly Nebula for the aesthetics as well as its shape looking much like an hourglass and to tie it all together I added the aspects you would find within the Light cone diagram.

Vampire Grandma Era

An image of a floating vampire in a gothic punk dress posing directly at the viewer in a surprised expression. she is surrounded by multiple renditions of herself in fun poses wearing different clothing as if trying on different outfits. There are red ink splatters in the background as well as scanned pages from Bram Stockers novel 'Dracula'.

This piece was based on a 5 word prompt form a classmate, the one I received was "Vampire Grandma Era (Early Twenties)". So I Drew a vampire posing in various gothic and Victorian outfits with a punk flavour to keep it feeling young. To top it off, I added some scans from Bram Stockers Dracula as well as some red ink splatters to keep it tied to even more so vampires.
