Illustrator/designer. 72 Penguin non-fiction books’ graphics; 3 book series Osprey Ex-graphics ed., Daily Telegraph, 20+awards. Cover illus.
My work is two-pronged. On the one hand I illustrate for many publishers in non-fiction subjects including science, anthropology, archaeology, history (ancient and modern), travel, nature, war (from weapons cutaways to campaign and aerial views of battle maps). I designed buildings and figures in 3 dimensions for model-builders of a 1950’s English village for Hachette’s railway part-works. I illustrate cutaways and exploded diagrams for architects and developers.
On the other hand, I write, illustrate, design and publish traditionally under my own imprint my own work with some degree of success, if you take sales value figures, rather than quantity, as a yardstick, having sold over £165,000-worth of these to date, not including translation rights.
