A wonderful project with Freemantle and the BBC, bringing to life the story of this fascinating character. It is always a joy to see my illustrations transformed through animation.

Daunt Books for The London Magazine.

I recently created a map for the leafy UnCommons development in Las Vegas. They wanted to show potential customers that the apartments available to buy are very close to many eateries and other attractions. They asked me to work in earth tones, similar to their brand colours.

Editorial work with the Financial Times
I was asked to create the opening image for the House and Home section of the Financial times on Saturday. It featured an article about the prohibitive increases in the global rental markets as young people return to the cities, post covid lockdowns.
The Story of London Underground, in Waterstones top 20 books of 2019.
This was my first non-fiction picture book and I wanted to keep the artwork bright and cheerful while also being accurate and informative. There was a wealth of reference material from the London Transport archive which made approaching the brief a fascinating job. It was easy to get lost in nostalgia sifting through the historic photos. There were so many interesting facts to take in. I was lucky enough to have a trip to the London Transport Museum private collection of old trains, buses, signage, and original poster artwork from many years ago.
The project was commissioned by Bloomsbury publishing in partnership with Transport for London. They asked me to work on it because of my link to TFL through my permanent artwork on the platforms of Shadwell Station, and one of the designers at Bloomsbury followed me on Instagram.
I created the artwork on paper with gouache and ink. The biggest challenge was getting so much information into the individual spreads in a coherent way.
The most enjoyable part of the project was working with historical reference and recreating scenes and clothes from the last century, and being a continuing part of the long tradition of London Transport commissioning artists, designers and illustrators, and eating cake with the designers.
So proud of this lovely book and honoured to have been asked to illustrate it. It is out now on sale.
Cottonmill at Sopwell Hill
A lovely job came along this year for Sopwell House in Hertfordshire. They asked me to create a collection of images to help introduce the launch of their exclusive Spa.
Princess Margaret, The Rebel Royal.
A chance to work on some animation came my way this year when the BBC commissioned a documentary on Princess Margaret. Working with the director and animator, we generated clips which punctuated the superb footage. It was a lot of fun to work on. You can still see it on Utube.
Poster Girls Exhibition
The Poster Girls Show on at The London Transport Museum features one of my illustrations used to promote going out in East London. The show is on until January 2019. Catch it while you can, there is a beautiful selection of commissioned work by women artists and designers from the past 100 years.
