New Ark is an outstanding local adventure playground incorporating a city farm and an eco garden. In partnership with Vivacity, they commissioned a set of eight boards to tell the story of how New Ark was founded in 1974 by local parents.
I designed the boards to be simple for very young children to read and look at, yet still interesting for older children and adults to read. There’s also an animal to find hidden in each one…

The Rialto is the UK’s leading independent poetry magazine so it was rather super to be asked to illustrate the cover of their 70th issue. Topically, the theme was ‘austerity’ – hence a bit of a run-down feel to the whole thing. It was also an excuse to unleash a series of puns unto the world, something that I’m a huge fan of.
You can buy a back copy of this issue here.

Makedo is basically genius, and so to be asked for the second time to design some stickers to go in their Find&Make kits is basically a dream come true for a big kid who loves cardboard like me. They had to be fun & recognisable, but flexible enough for the user to be able to be a bit imaginative with the placement as well.

I’m not sure there’s anything more exciting than being asked to illustrate a giant underground railway system, but that’s what Karin at mermermer did, and it was just as exciting as I expected. The Citytunneln in Malmö has various artworks in the stations that the book documents, and the map is the slightly fanciful endpapers to that book.

I was proper delighted to be asked to design a set of desktop wallpapers for HP to be shipped with their 2010 range of laptops, and was even more delighted when I discovered I was in esteemed company with three other great illustrators: Alex Eben Meyer, Julie West and Amy Ruppel.
