A couple more recent pattern designs and illustrations. #PortfolioDay

Illustration of a clearing in a dark forest with pools of water on the ground among the trees and vegetation. In the water is a reflection of a cityscape with skyscrapers in vibrant orange and yellow with a bright blue sky, contrasting with the murky blue-green colours of the woods. In the far distance an early sunrise can be made out through the trees.

An illustration rendered in vibrant pinks and purples of a man shielding his eyes from the light as he looks up at a crystal tower in the sky. Tall trees frame the image and strange creatures lurk in the shadows.

Illustration of a green field with wildflowers on a summer's day. A footpath and old, battered fence run alongside the field, as does lush green vegetation and trees. In the distance there is a blue hill rising against the sky, with wisps of cloud.

A hand illustrated pattern design featuring a snowy winter forest with deer among the trees, in shades of deep and pale blue and white.

Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm an illustrator and surface pattern designer, I love depicting themes of nature, fantasy and the environment with vibrant colours and detail and I'd love to work on some new projects.

Several peacocks and commas and a few brimstones. Really excited to start seeing more!

This and the previous post you attributed to me are not mine, they are linocuts by William Hays

Unfinished line art drawing showing a forest with pools of water on the ground

Thank you! It started with some pencil sketches which were drawn over and coloured digitally, here's what some of the line art looked like while it was in progress

Thank you! Those are two things I liked very much also :)

That was part of my inspiration 😊 thank you!

thank you!!

yes!!! I'm so happy I've had this opportunity!

Cheltenham Illustration Awards - Tales of the Uncanny Free exhibition 9th-25th March 9am-5pm Elwes Gallery, Park Campus, Cheltenham

Currently on display at the Tales of the Uncanny exhibition! It ends next week, but I believe it will be touring elsewhere later in the year too.

Illustration of a clearing in a dark forest with pools of water on the ground among the trees and vegetation. In the water is a reflection of a cityscape with skyscrapers in vibrant orange and yellow with a bright blue sky, contrasting with the murky blue-green colours of the woods. In the far distance an early sunrise can be made out through the trees.

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere.

My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places...

First butterfly of the year in our garden, brimstone. And the first bees and ladybirds have been appearing too 🐝🦋🐞💚

Thank you!!

Thank you!! These are great, the backgrounds really pull things together in a very satisfying way!

THANK YOUUU 🥰

I've felt similar about picking up different creative disciplines, it all kinds feeds into each other... I would love to see more of your art and 3D stuff in the future also!!

Thank you so much!! I definitely plan to share in the future!

Illustration of the aurora borealis, in vibrant colours against a starry winter night sky, with dark silhouettes of trees in the foreground.

Artwork showing willow saplings, white flowers and seed heads blowing in the breeze, in front of a wooded area. Two white butterflies fly among the vegetation.

A cyanotype print of a jellyfish surrounded by sea anemones.

Illustration of a white, snow-covered tree in a winter landscape, with a line of more snowy trees visible in the distance against blue hills. The sky is a soft gradient of pink, green and blue.

In the spirit of my last posts - tomorrow is my birthday and what I'd like to ask for is for you to share something you've made with me!
Here's some of my own art to start things off, but it doesn't have to be like that. Crafts, photos, music, writing... all counts... but it has to be from YOU

💙💙💙

Whoa this is really cool

Thank you, I am enjoying it!! I love your drawings of buildings 💙
