Illustration & design for just about anything
But before we get going with lots and lots of pretty pictures and distractions
I like working with good people, honest people, kind people, hard working people, and these people generally seem to like working with me. This website is not a sales pitch full of bravado and swagger, I'm not trying to lure you in with promises I can't deliver, I won't guarantee to improve your SEO ranking with a picture nor has any of my work won any token awards at a ceremony paid for by the entrants and voted for by my family. This site is simply what I do for a living for a fair rate, rather than a fantasy cooked up to impress and justify excessive prices. I've got this far by doing my best and not putting up with crap, its really that simple.
And so, here is the ‘about me’ bit
I'm a designer, illustrator and animation maker based in Pontefract (Yorkshire, England). I produce product visuals, vector logos (either original or redrawn from your existing non-vector version), brand elements (like a series of icons or design features etc), bespoke lettering (for logotypes etc), illustration and design work for print (brochures, leaflets, adverts) and screen (websites, email marketing, banners), photoshop retouching and animation. I dabble in website design but its not what I do day to day. For programmers I recommend either Simon or Kinsley. I can provide interactive Flash based work for internet or exhibition use depending on the level of programming work required, but I do not work with Flash programmers unless you can recommend one as they have a tendency to let me down. I am a small solo creative, if you need something small in a hurry, I can help, and its what I'm best at.
If you’re already bored of me, then
Read some entertaining ‘armchair travel’ Thodys American Adventures writing by Peter Thody, or simply take a look at his extensive photo galleries, “its not literally like spending five minutes in America at all, but its way better than reading about footaball” says freelancebloke.
Redwoods to Seattle - The North West Coast
"Carole is fascinated by the ‘idea’ of bears but terrified about the possibility of actually bumping into one ... an hour or so later, after unloading our provisions into the bear-proof box and diverting her attention from the sign warning that a bear had been seen on site recently, we were sitting by the Smith River...” Read it all
