To the creative genius of Michael Jackson and Eminem,

each narrative brings to life the artists who defined our musical landscape.

Digital Arts / NFT / The Woo

Illustrator / Comic Arts

Welcome to my portfolio, where imagination meets artistry!

With a specialization in illustration, comic book art, and concept art,

 

I've had the privilege of collaborating with various industry and publishing houses across the UK and the USA.

My journey has taken me from 

London to San Francisco and Las Vegas, and everywhere in between.

​

Explore my diverse body of work, everything from epic images of dinosaurs and aliens to the innovative realms of NFTs and beyond!

I am currently engaged in the creation of new worlds, dinosaurs, aliens and various characters for multiple NFT Meta-verses.

It is rewarding to see my designs materialise using tools such as Wacom tablet with iPencil, iPad Pro, iMac desktop and my latest Mac Mini. Alongside traditional pencils and pens.

 

Recently; I have been exploring layered digital coolages, some of which are inspired by my recent book on The Move, a notable late 1960s band and their sensational manager, Tony Secunda.

They created a big scene during the late "swinging" 1960s in London. The Sex Pistols 10 years before The Sex Pistols.

These new coolages integrate images, effectively merging different times and places..

A concept that has intrigued me since my earlier days of image experimentation

at Ealing Art School in West London.
