Commissions

Literature, reading, writing have always been important. For some years I was an illustrator with clients in the UK, the USA and Europe. This was useful training. The constraints of a commission can be highly creative, because parameters force you to be inventive, to think beyond what you already know. These days I work for exhibition but occasionally take on commissions. Two recent examples: a portrait of Hummels and Lewandowski for the USA football magazine 8 by 8, and the series Painful Realities for ‘Wellcome Trust Stories’ where I was invited to select work from the Wellcome Library Archives.
