Seasons Greetings

Some christmas cards I designed based on the biblical story of Saint Lucia, patron saint of the blind. The word Lucia is derived from the latin word Lux which means light. St Lucy's day is most commonly celebrated in Sweden during the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.


"'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's,
Lucy's, who scarce seven hours herself unmasks;
The sun is spent, and now his flasks
Send forth light squibs, no constant rays;
The worlds whole sap is sunk..."

A Nocturnal Upon St.Lucy's Day, Being the Shortest Day
- John Donne

Rosie-Lees Pitch

Here are some selected illustrations I pitched for the East London based design agency Rosie Lees. I based my idea on representations of cockney London culture, an idea initiated from the roots of the company name rosie lee which means cup of tea in cockney slang. I felt the greasy spoon cafe environment suited this concept precisely.

Forgotten Work

I recently moved house and discovered some illustrations I had hidden away. Here are a few of my favourites.

Abandoned Houses in Detroit










Hive-Head




Tetrahedrons

Parasites

I've been working on a series of repetitive drawings to be used for textile prints. While they appear to be traditionally intricate and decorative patterns, closer inspection reveals a chaos of macabre and grotesque subjects.

Ragnarok

Some more illustrations from the Norse Mythology series.

I've illustrated for another issue of Creative Review, available in shops now. Here are some scans from it.
