2. About me
originally from liverpool, I moved to lincoln in 2008 to attend the
university of lincoln and begin my studies in illustration. in 2011 i
graduated and began working and accepting commissions as an illustrator
mostly working for magazines and newspapers. after working for a few
years in the industry I wanted to try something new, so decided to open my
own arts agency for new graduates. after working with the princes trust
we opened in 2014 but after a rough start we had no choice but to close in
early 2015 but still run the agency as a collective. I now continue to work
as a freelance artist with the hopes of furthering my career in the future
with a full time position at a agency or studio.
