I am an Illustrator, I make images that are bold, exciting, and imaginative. My work is filled with energy. My inspiration is found in everyday things which are otherwise considered mundane. It is my job as an illustrator to show people the joy that can be found in these things. I have spent the majority of the year working on an animation for a live brief. The film revolves around Alasdair Gray’s armchair. As such, I use the chair as a central motif, building movement from the textures and patterns of the armchair. I have also done a lot of print-work. This has culminated a meticulously rendered dry-point etching of an amateur football match. I stretch and distort the proportions of the players in order to capture the dynamism and excitement that I see in that moment.
