Netflix best leftovers ever show

New out on Netflix, the ‘Best Leftovers Ever!’ cookery show. I was privileged to produce a series of illustrations for a great animation company in L.A., Charlie Co (@charliecotv), who efficiently brought the tasty dishes to life on-screen. It’s a fun much needed feel-good show to be a part of and I must say I’m quite chuffed to see my stuff on the telly!

Scratchboard illustration of girl reading

Colour scratchboard illustration commissioned recently for a Letterpress Project publication cover commemorating the death of Jane Slowey CBE who had been a founding member of the Letterpress Project. Throughout her life she had been a dedicated reader and believed strongly in the transformative power of books. The brief was to depict a young girl reading, the illustration capturing that moment of inspiration brought about by books.

Which way do you jump when you need an illustration to enhance that all new important project you are working on; hire an Illustrator specialising in one style only or one who works in a variety of styles?

I know Illustrators from both camps and both approaches has it’s pros and cons.

Being long-in-the-tooth scribbling with my crayons I just won’t specialise. Working in a range of styles keeps me passionate about doing what I do and I enjoy the flexibility this approach offers my clients, treating each and every project as an individual challenge, regardless of the size of the job.

Manhattan Beach vector illustrations

I was commissioned a while ago by The Formation Creative Consultants Europe Ltd to do a series of illustrations for ‘Mother’s Market & Kitchen’, a new flagship natural food store in Signal Hill, California.

Recently I was asked to do a few new illustrations for another of their stores at Manhattan Beach, California depicting Manhattan Beach over the decades. As per the previous illustrations, because they are vector-based the images were blown up to enormous sizes for large billboards and main picture windows.
