Baby’s First Jailbreak

BABY’S FIRST JAILBREAK

Baby Frank’s second outing was published in 2019, documenting the further adventures of our well-intentioned infant recidivist. This time there’s a rival baby-led zoo in town – and Frank needs to spring the inmates to freedom! Published by Bloomsbury children’s books.

Jeff Bezos – GUARDIAN

Jeff Bezos for Guardian Long Read. An article detailing Jeff Bezos’s future space ambitions for Amazon. Amazingly this depiction isn’t all that far from what the richest human in history actually wants to do with his ‘winnings’. Created in Procreate and Photoshop to a tight deadline.

Baby's First Bank Heist

Baby’s First Bank Heist

My first picture book, written by Jim Whalley. Baby Frank accidentally robs a bank. He uses the loot to order lots of pets online, which he then stashes around his house so his parents can’t find them (but your kids can). Painted in gouache, ink and pencil. Published by Bloomsbury in 2018.

Whimsy Mine – CREATIVE REVIEW

Whimsy Mine

Creative Review asked me to make a comic about making comics, to accompany an interview about my process. Ink and digital, 2017.

The World Today: Brexit

One of the hardest things in illustration right now is drawing Brexit without resorting to flags.
They’re so hard to avoid with this subject. This is my attempt to avoid the pitfalls of cliché by
drawing the EU parliament instead. Created using gouache, pencil and digital.

President Zuckerberg – UNHERD

Illustration for Unherd magazine on the political ambitions of Mark Zuckerberg. Often for commissions use a process of scanning multiple sheets of colour and linework and then comping them together in Photoshop. This allows for greater freedom in the editing stage than is the case with a full painting.
Gouache, ink, digital editing, 2018.
