During the first lockdown I drew a peregrine falcon in a couple of styles. Since then I’ve not been as productive, so I decided to start doing bird profiles to help me get back to regularly making things in my free time. When I was about nine or ten, I watched the #kenloach film #Kes. It’s a heartbreaking film, but as I was a kid, was more focussed on beautiful scenes when Billy is flying Kes. It began a lifelong obsession with #birdsofprey. Subsequent birthdays and christmases came and I received bird books, videos and all sorts of paraphernalia. For one birthday I was taken to a bird of prey conservation and held a rescued #kestrel on a glove. It was like meeting a celebrity! Anyway, stay tuned for more. I may put them in one of my shops if anyone is interested. #art #design #illustration #kestrel #artistsoninstagram #britishbirdsofprey #vector

A few years ago these little creatures showed up for the first time and since they’ve been regular visitors to our feeder. The colour of #goldfinches feels quite exotic compared to the regular garden birds we get in the UK, I often stop to watch them in the garden whatever I’m doing. Anyway, stay tuned for more. I may put them in one of my shops if anyone is interested. #art #design #illustration #goldfinch #artistsoninstagram #britishgardenbirds #vector

This was one of those midnight ideas you sometimes get. I loved Squid Game, but couldn’t help notice that the circle, triangle and square of the game itself reminded me of playstation (minus the X), so here’s a little parody mashup for fun!

Wyrd Fishes

Suffering from a lack of inspiration at the moment, and been looking through some of my older work. Decided to recreate this design I made in 2012 (pic2). Originally entitled Freshwater Freaks, I used creative commons found illustrations and vector patterns. This time, I’ve used some photos, halftoned them and incorporated the same patterns and […]

The Green Knight poster

Here’s the Green Knight poster I was working on for the past few weeks. It’s been much more work than I expected, but really pleased with how it came out. I’ll post the other version later. @thegreenknight @a24 #illustration #stippling #drawing #alternativemovieposters #alternativeposter #devpatel #davidlowery #fanart View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CTr86lwKoFm/
