Overview
Working independently since 1993, I have been creating distinctive illustrations, in a variety of media, for international clients in design, advertising, press and publishing. My portfolios are at kimfolio.com
I have created illustrations for many international publishers and for national newspapers to complement writing by Peter Carey, Muriel Spark, Iain Banks, Irvine Welsh, Gil Scott Heron and William Boyd- amongst numerous others. Many years of experience mean that I can absorb a text and thoughtfully translate it into an effective cover image. I'm happy to work in collaboration, to work with clients' requirements and I can always make a creative contribution to projects.
Previous clients include:(UK & US Publishers): Penguin, MacMillan, Random House, Headline, Transworld, Time Warner, Harper Collins, Canongate, Scholastic, Farrar Strauss & Giroux, Orion, Hyperion, Kraken Opus and others including publishers in Germany, the Netherlands, China, Spain, Canada, Norway and Finland.

In unfolding the backstory of the Bard's life and working through the voices of 22 lawyers from Burns's era, Allan Nicolson subtly unravels a tale at once familiar and new - even startling at times. Blending Burns's verse, correspondence and law reports of the time, Nicolson has been able to build up a novel analysis of the legacy of the Scottish poet.
