Artist | Professional | Digital Art
United Kingdom
I'm an open-minded individual with a passion for art, film, music and animation. I graduated from the University of Wales, Newport with a First in BA (Hons) Animation and have since worked on the sequel to Raymond Briggs' The Snowman: The Snowman and the Snowdog (2012). I enjoy creating my own characters and worlds, exchanging ideas and working creatively with others and I typically listen to alternative/progressive rock while drawing.
I am currently a Freelance 2D Artist and Animator in the UK available for work so feel free to contact me for commissions, full and part time work.
