My dream - teaching fashion illustration to teens. Getting in early, teaching them why it’s important to learn how to draw fat, all skin colours, hair types. They are doing brilliantly.
Today I’ve worked on some ideas of how to be more sustainable when it comes to fashion.
Cut out fast fashion, make do & mend, swap, rent and repurpose.
I love illustrating fashion. I was a designer for 20 years before becoming an illustrator. I hate all the nonsense, but textiles / colour / pattern give me goosebumps.
I’ve commissioned people to write for my blog, and have illustrated their portraits. I’ve added one of Helen Mirren below too so you can see I can do a likeness.
Need to update my portfolio with a reportage section. But I’ve done a lot that seems to go pretty viral. I’m good at communicating people’s stories in way that resonated.
Here’s my artwork of the Sarah Everard vigil &work from @RWoBristol dance event.
Both got picked up by BBC
I’m incredibly free for work right now. It’s great to have the time to do personal projects and send emails, but I’m ready for a brief I didn’t write :)
Smart brain, quick worker. Mostly commissioned for fashion / lifestyle (desperate to cut my teeth with reportage / politics)
Ok, about to start another personal project.
I would def get 10/10 for trying at the moment!
If a brand would like to commission an illustration I’m available. Brain in gear, paints at the ready!

I’ve been commissioned to create illustrations for worldwide window campaigns, packaging, editorial and social media.
My work is broad appeal, colourful & contemporary.

Head to my blog to read this brilliant piece by @barker_samuel_l, from my LISTEN TO series.

I deleted Twitter for a few days and worked on some new things. I’d be interested to know what you think.
