American Illustration 36

4/11/2017

 
I was lucky enough to have this image chosen for the AI36 awards, it's a cover image that was originally commissioned by Albert Tang at Simon and Schuster for Andrew Wilson's book titled 'A Talent for Murder'. Only 340 images from 10,000 entries were chosen so it's a big honour to be included. Thanks to the judges and to Albert for sending the job my way in the first place.

Communication Arts 58

2/21/2017

 
Picture

​This image for ESPN has been selected for the latest Communication Arts Annual, only 178 winners from 3995 entries were chosen so it's a big honour to be included. Thanks to the judges and particularly to Linda Pouder and Chin Wang at ESPN, this award is as much for them as it is for me.

Johns Hopkins 'Faith and healthy eating'

2/21/2017

 
Picture

​This is a recent full page for Johns Hopkins Health Review, the article covers the crossovers between faith and healthy eating habits. The main challenge with this image was to cover faith in a very general way without alluding to any specific religion in particular and still have that tie in with healthy foods and wellbeing. This image with the sun rising from the characters belly is actually an alternative option, the printed image will have the sun rising from behind the character but as a standalone piece I quite liked the sunny belly version.

Picture
Creative Quarterly have selected one of my entries from their 2016 competitions to be featured in their 100 Best Annual due out later this year. It's a real honour to be included, the book is hardbound and packed to the gills with quality illustration, photography and fine art. Thanks to the judges and to Charles Hively for these great publications.

Patrick Nagel award

2/21/2017

 
Picture
I recently had the honour of accepting the Patrick Nagel Award for Excellence from the LA Society of Illustrators. The image was for ESPN to cover their tribute to Muhammad Ali. Thanks loads to the judges for selecting this piece, and of course to Linda and Chin at ESPN for their outstanding art direction. Chuffed to bits.
