My work has appeared in magazines, on billboards, in books and on the wall next to the telephone. Illustration has been my sole occupation since leaving art school over 15 years ago and indeed it is doubtful that I could actually hold down a proper job if asked.
I have been published in countries as far flung as Japan, India, Germany, Spain, Rarotonga and Iceland but mostly work comes from American and British people.
My spare time is spent putting lint into stranger’s pockets.
Client List
The bulk of my work has come from editorial clients, notably appearing in The Atlantic Monthly, Bloomberg Personal, Elle DÈcor, Forbes, GQ, Harpers Bazaar, Martha Stewart Living, The National Post, The New York Times, Suddeutsche Zeitung Magazine, Newsweek, Playboy, Time, and The Wall St. Journal to name but a few.
Designed and illustrated covers for The Daily Express, The Guardian UK, Mother Jones, How, Prism, The New Republic, The New Scientist, The Observer UK and The Scotland on Sunday.
Corporate work has been done for Abercrombie and Fitch, Ann Taylor, Citibank, Sun Bank, Deloitte and Touche, Lands End, Neiman Marcus, New York Magazine, Harry Rosen, Armstrong and UPS.
Illustrated book jackets for Bloomsbury, Little Brown, Macmillan, Penguin, Random House, Viking and Vintage.
Trumpeting
Won gold medals for my illustrations from the Society of Publication design in 1997, 2001 and 2004 and a silver medal in 2002. In 2004 I won a Gold Medal from the British Association of Illustrators in the editorial category.
Won yet more awards from the society of Broadcast Design, the Society of Newspaper Design, Communication Arts, The British Design and Art Directors Club and the British Times Educational Supplement. I also have a cycling proficiency award.
In 2000 I was mentioned in two separate books on new visual innovators in America, one was published in Spain the other in China.
In 1999 Print magazine showcased me as one of the 30 best new visual artists under 30. Later that year I was noted to be an emerging talent by the Italian magazine Abitare in an issue devoted to New York design.
Sat on juries for the Society of Illustrators in the USA, the British Association of Illustrators , The American Institute of Graphic Artists, CMYK magazine and Studio Art Center International (SACI).
Twice been included in the Art Directors Club “Young Guns” show. This is a biennial exhibition of New York’s “most wanted talent” in the creative fields as chosen by the most prominent creative professionals in New York City. The shows traveled to Boston and Los Angeles.
You can often spot my work lurking in the competitive annuals “Communication Arts Best of American illustration”, “Best of American Illustration” annual and it’s UK equivalent “Images”.
If you have managed to read this far you must be really diligent or have a great deal of spare time. So, by way of a reward, here are a few links that are infinitely more interesting or useful than reading through tiresome ramblings of how great I am.
