Klovharu
A personal piece - inspired by the island Klovharu in the gulf of Finland, where Moomins creator Tove Jansson spent her summers
Pocket Mountains
I loved working on this set of covers for the Pocket Mountains Walks in the Western Isles series. This was my third set of books for the publishers of pocket-sized walking guides. I hope I can go and visit some of these beautiful islands one day. AD by Robbie Porteous.
Girl Scouts of the USA
Last year I was asked to create an illustration for the Girl Scouts of the USA. They wanted an image of a cookie booth and a girl scout ambassador with some younger members - I had to be careful to show the uniform and badges correctly!
Why It Matters
My latest over on the Why It Matters series for Pinter and Martin. Publishing January 2022. Deisgn and AD by Blok Graphic

Don’t forget to look up! A bit of personal work whilst waiting for feedback.
Pumpkin gif
An autumnal gif inspired by the film Fantastic Fungi. Did you know some fungi are bioluminescent?
Marina and the Microscope
My third picture book for Abbott to promote diabetes awareness amongst children and their families. I worked with Attention Global on Marina and the Microscope - a story about a young inventor with diabetes and her quest to learn about about the inner workings of her body.
Pocket Mountains Weekend Walks
I loved creating nearly ninety(!) illustrations for the Weekend Walks series for Pocket Mountains, an independent publisher of guide books based in Scotland. Art direction by Robbie Porteous.
Love at First Spite
A new cover for Graydon House Books by Anna E. Collins, publishing January 2022. It’s a ‘delightful romcom about an interior designer who teams up with an enigmatic architect at her firm to get revenge on her ex the only way she knows how: by building a spite house next door.’ Art direction by Gigi Lau.
Riley and the Magic Range
The second book for Abbott has a more fantastical theme. Riley is a young wizard whose magic goes awry when her glucose levels are unchecked!
Children's books for diabetes awareness
I’ve been busy working with Attention Global on three storybooks for a campaign around diabetes awareness for Abbott.
I’m excited to share some pages from the first one, Billy and the Bionic Badge, which tells the story of basketball fanatic Billy and his diagnosis with Diabetes. The book shows him getting to grips with a glucose monitor that attaches to the back of his arm - something I never knew existed before I worked on this project!
The books are downloadable online and distributed as print copies amongst organisations that support children and families with diabetes.

More belated Christmas content! My last one for Hannaford Fresh magazine, featuring Alyse Whitney and her ‘dipmas’ tradition - over Zoom in 2020.

Bit late posting this - Christmas seems like a long time ago! But I was thrilled to be asked to create page decorations for the 2020 Christmas RadioTimes.
Why It Matters series

New one for Hannaford
A new one for Hannaford Fresh magazine, on the subject of unconventional breakfasts - shrimp and kimchi noodles for breakfast anyone?
New pattern
I spent lockdown in my home county of Devon and, like many, found solace in nature. This pattern is inspired by the hedgerows of early spring.
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
