I've been working away doing a business course with The Good Ship Illustration. I've spent some time updating my website and personal branding. I'd love to share it all with you, and I've got some great news coming in December. Also, I'm currently available for 2025 projects! ✏️📖

The second part of my short illustrated graphic novel style story ‘The First Day I Never Forgot’, set to when I was a young child living with my family in a Loyalist estate in Belfast. Currently a work in progress, as I retell my earliest memory at the tail end of The Troubles. #illustration #comics

I’m in the process of capturing one of my earliest memories among the blurriness of early childhood years in a Loyalist estate in Belfast at the tail end of The Troubles. A work in progress that is getting adapted into a short illustrated story.

Thanks to all that came out to the Illustrators North exhibition.
Here’s my illustration inspired by convenience shops (with my previous local shop having a resident cat), and inspired by one of my favourite internet accounts Bodega Cats of NY.
The exhibition is on for the month of December!

I was shopping yesterday and it dawned on me that vampires can’t eat garlic bread, so they eat a loaf of dread instead.
Here’s a rough sketch I did during the middle of last night. #kidlit #kidlitart

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

A new double page spread for a non-fiction project. This time highlighting the New York skyline in Midtown Manhattan. I visited NYC before, so this view point is actually based on the observation deck at the Rockefeller Center.
