New Editorial portfolio. Digital images

Selected: Serco Prize for Illustration 2012

My work is one of the top 50 selected for the London Transport Museum “Serco Prize” and will be displayed in The Transport museum exhibition from the 13th November - 10th December later this year.

Artwork for article "A Year for Opportunity"

Artwork for an article on investment opportunity in the UK in 2012. Had to be British and not too much London only. Obviously the colours had to follow the flag, quite happy with the result.
