About me

Hi!
I'm an illustrator from the UK currently living in Tokyo. I specialize in cityscapes, hand drawn lettering and observational illustration.
I draw everything by hand (with a little help from the computer when it comes time for colour) and enjoy the little imperfections and character that drawing with pen and paper brings.

I'm also the co-founder of 'The Tokyoiter' (thetokyoiter.com) a website that shows and promotes the work of illustrators from all over the world that are inspired by Tokyo.
