I am a freelance illustrator living and working in Cheltenham. I prefer to produce my work by hand and colour it using Photoshop. Although I illustrate in a range of styles I especially like to draw anything wiggly, blobby, funny, scary or spooky and I love to draw maps and animals.
Drawing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child a packet of felt tips and a new jotter pad would keep me amused for hours - in fact they still do!
