Yellow was a year-long print and digital series, that saw 52 of the world's most exciting illustrators take on 52 weeks of news stories.
We wanted to investigate what artists could bring to news coverage, and to push the art form beyond pretty pictures and merchandise.
Illustrations were paired with thought pieces from the likes of journalist Owen Jones and artist Malika Favre. The book was then collected, Kickstarted, and launched alongside an accompanying mini-documentary and event series.

OFF LIFE is the UK's only street press comic magazine. Packed full of interviews, features and original short comics, the magazine was founded in 2012 with an aim to spotlight modern illustration and comic art.
By distributing free-to-read in galleries, bars, coffee shops and creative hubs, the quarterly magazine has gained a readership of over 30,000 per issue in just under three years.
After launching as a purely print title, stocking in locations such as Tate Modern, Design Museum, and Rough Trade, the magazine's loyal following has allowed OFF LIFE to spread into live arts events, workshops, industry talks and even launch a web platform that has become a hub for industry news, opinion and artwork.

One Thing I Know was a one-off book and web platform, made for Creative England, that gave experienced creatives a place to share their insights with the next generation.
Combining opinion pieces from some of the most successful names in the UK creative industries, along with illustration and design from exciting young talent, OTIK was published as a bible for anyone looking to start a creative business, collaboration or anything in-between.
The book went on to sellout within a fortnight of launching, while its digital edition received over 50,000 hits in week one.

Published by Visit England, this book was designed to promote English film locations to production studios around the world.
My role on the project was to commission freelance talent, guide tone and art direction, and edit all copy. After publication the book was sent to studios in dozens of countries and led to a spike in the booking of UK film locations.

In 2015, famed German ship and superyacht builder Blohm & Voss hired me to develop and launch B+V#2; an annual lifestyle magazine that pays homage to innovation, exploration and human endeavour in everything from travel and tech to sports, arts and business.
My position as editor took the title from concept to cover, beginning at the very first creative and strategy meeting in January 2015 and running through to launch in October 2015.

For most of 2018 I worked with producer James Boyle and artist Daniel Bayliss (Boom Studios) on MEAT: a short-run animation show aimed at mature audiences.
The show takes place in a world where professional wrestling is the biggest sport on the planet, and focusses on Meat, a broken-down former World Champion who must team with an unlikely teenage partner on a comeback tour for the ages.
With the help of Park Road Pictures and a number of award-winning studios, our team are now working to bring the show to screens in the coming year. Watch this space!
