My Bio

I've lived between the UK, China and parts of Europe all my life, and probably drew my first pictures on a long-haul flight with those free crayons they give out to keep kids quiet. I've been doodling animals and imaginary friends ever since, and now I draw children’s books and magazine illustrations to keep me in coffee.

Now I'm an illustrator and graphic designer based in Edinburgh, currently working for a young people's charity and also dreaming up and making science communication apps and displays.

Haha, I think I've been on tumblr longer than that... though I may be wrong.  I just got to a point where I was running a facebook page and twitter/instagram, and I was getting more work-like stuff from them than from dA.  It also started feeling a lot more clunky uploading to dA than to any of the other platforms.

I'm trying to make it as a full time freelance illustrator now, so let me know if you spot any comfortable-looking cardboard boxes for me to live in in a few months time.

Missing repartee - both.

Oh hey!  You still exist!  ...although admittedly I'm hardly on dA these days so I guess the question might equally be whether *I* still exist (on here at least).

My style's changed quite a bit lately.

Hope you're well :)  I've missed the repartee from time to time.
