Iconic Architecture and Landmarks
From football stadiums such as Elland Road and Anfield to celebrated UK and European landmarks, I capture the spirit and structure of places that hold significance. These pen and ink illustrations serve as a timeless tribute to treasured locations.
Cartography & Heritage
I have a passion for history and geography which I channel into intricate map illustrations. These pieces transform functional cartography into works of art, detailing historical moments, famous routes (like the NC 500), or beloved regions with exhaustive, hand-drawn fidelity.
Nature & Wildlife Studies
My nature illustrations focus on capturing the character and texture of animals. Each piece is a study in using line and contrast to convey the impression of the subject, highlighting the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
