This page show my illustration style and the variety of content I can offer for commissions.
The Cluster is a co-working business in Summertown, Oxford. The top left illustration was commissioned by Kevin Jessop, owner of the Cluster: I asked him if I could use his business as the setting for my commissions showcase and I was very pleased that he said yes.

This is a commissioned illustration. The brief was for a historical perspective of the building and its use over the years. Kevin was keen for me to add the sort of the imaginative details that I included in my recent Inktober illustrations on Oxford. This illustration involved a lot of research and planning before committing to the final illustration and I used researched images and photographs that I took of the premises for reference for the drawing. None of it was drawn in situ. It is an example of the higher end in terms of price.
This is an in-situ pen & ink illustration of the inner courtyard of The Cluster. It took about 6 hours from start to finish, and was completed over two drawing sessions. I drew the basic composition in pencil first, then I used a Rotring Art Pen to ink in all the elements and add textural detail. It was all drawn in-situ with a very small amount of pen work after, and no digital retouching.
