Bio-
I'm an illustrator currently based in London. I studied Illustration at Brighton University after growing up in the beautiful countryside of the Peak District.
I am also a music enthusiast and run record label and publishing company Tor Press.
My work is inspired the environment, evolution, music, biology, mythology, ancient cultures and anything else that appeals to me.
Feel free to get in touch if you want to work with me or just fancy saying hello.
