I think this may be the series I’m most proud of so far.
A series of 3 illustrations for The Economist’s beautifully put-together quarterly “Intelligent Life”.
The story was about breaking news of the death of a loved-one and the fascinating story of how the way professionals deal with this most life-changing of moments has changed over the years.

The Art Director, Graham Black, and I decided that the illustration should deal as directly as possible with the moment itself, as experienced by both the giver & receiver of bad news. Graham is an amazing AD and pushed forward my idea of these 3 portraits. Thankfully, the editor went with it.

Art Direction: Graham Black.

A poster for a series that could have looked really great but was unfortunately never used. Such is life, I suppose.

My first commission for the Norwegian Magazine D2. This was for an article about the dangers of the growing trend of ‘Denialism’ – forgoing traditional science and medicine for ‘alternative’ theories and therapies.

This was a piece I did for a very worthwhile charity project called ‘Project Open Book’, which sends
They’re producing a book of poems for kids and asking illustrators to produce images for each poem. This is mine.

Project OpenBook is curated by the team at MarbleSpark, makers of some pretty cool personalized children’s books.

For a feature article in The New Scientist about the many different ways to try to understand Quantum Theory. We used Schrodinger’s Cat as a starting point (hence the huge cat!)

Great art direction again from Craig Mackie.
