About

I'm a Character Artist living in the east of England providing characters, concept work, cartoons and illustration for the entertainment industry.

My past clients include Netflix, Disney Television Animation, Cartoon Network, nWave Digital, Passion Pictures and Elliott Animation.

When I’m not working I’m usually cooking curry and trying to learn the piano whilst fending off two ridiculous cats.
