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!

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.

JUST THE TONIC!
This little gem has just arrived in the post from a very kind and valued client to show his appreciation of my Illustrative input. Originally he’d sent me a bottle for Christmas but the Postman must have enjoyed it as it mysteriously disappeared en route and so another bottle was sent. I must say, it’s a very appreciated tonic on a grey and cold wintery day!

Landscape illustrations
California dreaming; I was commissioned a short 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. The brief was to produce a series of large landscape illustrations depicting different aspects of the Signal Hill area including it’s historic past and it’s modern organic food production. Being vector based, the illustrations were able to be blown up to the enormous sizes needed for the large billboards and main picture window. I wish I was able to have been over there in the sunshine state for the opening night which apparently went down very well. Job done!
Lidl liqueurs
