ILLUSTRATIONS
Every illustrator has a preference for materials and techniques they prefer to employ within their own work. I straddle analogue and digital, both have their place within my illustrative work.
When undertaking a commission, flexibility can be important to a client. You may like certain aspects of a style, material or technique, but may want to merge it with another style.
I am experienced working with diverse techniques and styles to meet client briefs. Get in touch via the contact page to discuss your ideas or requirements.
I can create your illustrations and artwork using:
Analogue - Pencil, Coloured Pencil, Watercolour, Acrylic, Gouache, Ink, Fineliner, Collage
Digital - Procreate & PS
Printmaking - Monoprinting, Lino (Colour reduction & B&W)
Digital Illustration (Advertising)
The client, WASPS (Scotland) commissioned a poster, flyer and logo to celebrate the fifth birthday of one of their buildings, Perth Creative Exchange, which houses 26 artist, and designer, studios.
The brief for the poster and flyer design was to showcase the creative community within the building. My design focuses on the array of disciplines within the community.
Below you can view some of the illustrations that feature in more detail.
Painted Illustrations
These illustrations were created using traditional materials, gouache and polychromo coloured pencils on paper.
No lighting, filters or editing have been used in the photography of either illustration.
Collage Illustrations
These illustrations have been created by the use of traditional collage techniques. Papers with different colours and textures are made and used. Recycled paper is used within my collages and artwork that would normally end in the bin is given a new life. Each element of the illustration has been cut by hand.
No lighting, filters or editing have been used in the image photography.
Digital Illustrations
A selection of vector based digital illustrations.
Simple shapes and bold, vibrant colours are employed to create a childlike, playful feel to these illustrations.
Each illustration has a distinctly 'graphic' feel.
