Good good good times.
In Sides is one of my favourite albums; it just refuses to age. Yet is the first time I’ve seen someone else rave about it… Thanks!
Just a bit of Azul and A Gentle Rain for me. Oh, and another play of Vantage, which I LOVE.
A montage of pop cultural icons (Kevin from Home Alone, Robocop, Marla from Fight Club, Darth Vader, etc.) for a double page spread in French film magazine La Septieme Obsession.
An illustrated scene from The Breakfast Club for a National Library of Scotland article about libraries in pop culture.
An illustration of all the characters in Kinds of Kindness. A cover illustration for Little White Lies.
An illustration of some of the characters from Yellowjackets.
🚨 I'm currently open for illustration work! Finished a couple of big projects and now have a semi-free schedule for a few weeks. If you're an AD, please get in touch!

🧵 But I'm going to post some work below too...
I love illustrating pop culture:

Awesome cover!
I’d love that!
Paradise is such a weird show. It’s like it can’t make its mind up what genre it is. Or rather, it’s kinda constructing a Russian doll of different genres… Maybe? That said, I’m certainly enjoying it, and I’ll be there for whichever strange place S3 takes us.
This is now my son Max’s favourite-ever board game. Since I introduced it to him, I can’t get him to play anything else…
Ooh, congrats Ross!
Beautiful!
Orbital’s Brown Album (skipping the first and last tracks) is a personal fave. Also In Sides by Orbital.

“The Dulwich Horror” could well describe Nigel Farage…
I keep seeing ads for One Piece Lego sets and thinking, “That doesn’t sound fun…”
My three favourite films of last year were Weapons, Sinners and One Battle After Another, so unsurprisingly last night’s Oscar results please me.
Ah, you’re far more responsible a parent than I am. My kids weren’t much older than yours when we started them on Game of Thrones…
If it’s 21st century tastes you’re thinking of, then why not start with Casino Royale, and just do the Craig run?
(NB - I realise TLD isn’t a Brosnan Bond - it’s just a separate thought!)
Well, GoldenEye was Brosnan’s best, but that one hasn’t dated that well, sadly. I also have a soft spot for The Living Daylights, as it was the first Bond I saw in a cinema.
At least with Bond, you’re free from the tyranny of continuity. Well, until you get to Craig.
I started my sons on The Spy Who Loved Me, as for me that was the definitive Bond movie as a child. Then we watched Goldfinger. After that, they lost interest.
Agreed!
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I myself am an international woman and so is my book, a mere £2.99 if you're feeling internationally womanly. amzn.eu/d/06Ng8OsI
