My delicate hand inked designs intend to charm and delight, inviting you to peer closer and discover the hidden intricacies.įor me, computer generated graphics can feel cold and soulless whereas hand drawing captures a sense of energy and character which no pixel can ever replicate. I love the tactile nature of the materials I use and the joy of smudgy fingerprints. Much of my work has roots in the flora and fauna that surrounded me growing up on my parent's fish farm in rural Scotland.Įvery piece I create starts life as a simple pencil sketch, evolving into a rambling pen and ink drawing usually spanning several sheets of paper. My creativity is cultivated by a curious imagination and a delight in the fantastic.

I create intricate, hand drawn illustrations that adorn colouring books, coffee cups, trainers, walls, beer bottles and even walls! I'm an illustrator and ink evangelist who prefers pens and pencils to pixels. Tumble down the rabbit hole and find yourself in my inky black and white Wonderland.

I'm on a mission to inspire the world to be creative!
