Picking up this personal project again as it’s one of my favourites to do, with new additions being The Substance and Weapons.

Inspired by vintage pulp fiction spot illustrations, I’ve been reimagining contemporary horror movies as old literature. Can you work out all the films?? πŸ‘€ 1/2

A few people requested I put my Oasis Don’t Look Back in Anger 30th anniversary design on a T-shirt to buy, so I’ve done just that www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8834...

I was recently commissioned by an author to illustrate a scene from their new book, as a pre-release teaser. I LOVE the concept of doing a promo as a page from a comic and there’s so much scope for it: film scenes, fashion lines, even the potential to illustrate song lyrics as an album teaser!

My cover art for @impulsenine.bsky.social record releasing in May, and my vinyl mockup for it (the real release may not look the same!). The 3rd image is my artwork for their cover of Muse’s Starlight, featuring the same character. Feels like there could be a full tale to be told about her one day πŸ‘€

An Art Nouveau-inspired cover design for @impulsenine.bsky.social version of Muse’s Starlight.
Swipe to see the rough sketch the client sent me to work from. I love bringing people’s ideas like this to life 😍

As soon as I saw the premise of OBSESSION, I knew I had to do an alt movie poster for it in my favourite vintage comic mail-order ad style ✨

I entered a charity T-shirt design competition for Oasis’ 30th anniversary of Don’t Look Back in Anger, with this 60s psychedelic design. It sadly didn’t make the shortlist but was still fun to make. Thankfully, none of the winning designs look like AI and THAT I *AM* happy about!

That tribute Macaulay Culkin posted to Catherine O'Hara absolutely wrecked me. Especially this image 😭 It felt like the perfect one to illustrate

It very sadly never went ahead in the end, but I was recently thinking about how cool it would’ve been if it had, so I decided to design what the cover might have looked like.

Back in 2023 a record label reached out to me about a potential project - they wanted to make a See, Hear, Read-along record, like the vintage ones that used to be released for children… but for Skinamarink, and it would feature my illustrations throughout.

From Dusk till Dawn was released just over 29 years ago and this has to be one of the hottest pop culture moments πŸ‘€

I’ve been quietly working away but haven’t had anything new to share recently, so before the algorithm punishes me, here are some of my poster designs. Need something for your project? I’m open for commissions! Drop me a DM or email.

I got to work on so many fun commissions in 2025 but one career bucket list item I still haven’t ticked off the list is the chance to design a blu-ray/DVD cover. Something to aim for in 2026 πŸ’«
