'The Trouble With Treble'. 32page children's picture book; mixed media, published digitally 2015. Poor Treble, he just wants to be warm. I can't deny he's my beary alter-ego.

'The Trouble With Treble'. 32page children's picture book; mixed media. Hand-drawn pencils, then scanned and digitally coloured. The pencil outline was left in at 20% opacity after lots of experimentation.

'The Trouble With Treble'. 32page children's picture book; mixed media. I could live here. It's probably no coincidence that this book includes all the things I most like. Including ice cream. Coconut for me, please.

'Aliens Vs Predator' (PS3/X360/PC) Senior Artist; 3D environment & props modelling, 2D texturing. Height, specular and diffuse maps created in Photoshop, normal map derived from height map using CrazyBump.

'Unpublished sample for a Dredd cover/poster, not submitted as it was the exact time I made the switch to videogame art and landed my first industry position at Microprose. The boots should have been bigger, but I enjoyed making Mega-City One look like Hell.
