I’m delighted to share the case study from Perception for the prologue sequence to Sinners.
I was commissioned to create a series of digital illustrations with the result being this eerie, linocut-inspired vision that fuses Southern folklore, ancestral storytelling, and vampire myth...

Spooky season is coming! Couldn’t resist getting some treats and these tins on my trip into town. M&S tins are becoming a bit of a tradition and this Lush one was just too good to miss! 🎃🎃🎃

New linocut print! My interpretation of a Hand of Glory (mummified hand of a hangman used for opening locks and occult purposes!). Mine is obvs a bit more embellished and tatted up+it would usually hold a candle, not be one! Whitby Museum has the only surviving one I believe! Available on the shops!

Fiddly fingerprint carving with my smallest gouge. Luckily the lino didn’t break which is always a risk!

Taking it slow with a new linocut print. Enjoying the meditative flow that comes from working on a new piece, can't really rush traditional printmaking either, well not safely. A little detail to focus on to start.

Ooo it's been a very long time since I posted anything - sorry about that! I've had a pretty busy start to the year tho, with some lovely linocut commissions like the one pictured.
More details on how to commission me if that piques your interest! www.blockforest.co.uk/pages/commis...

Such sad news to hear of the passing of Sam Neill - I only just rewatched his stella performance in Event Horizon over the weekend. A real actor from my childhood as Jurassic Park was a particular obsession growing up. You’ll be sorely missed!

Happy Alien Day!! Think I might have to put one of these iconic films on tonight. Not sure which one tho - I honestly love them all (yes even Prometheus and Covenant).
Here’s a little linocut print I made a lifetime ago - should try my hand at the xenomorph again now I’ve been carving longer!

If I’d known back at the end of 2024 that I was making artwork that would feature in a multi Oscar winning movie, I would never have believed it!
Utterly thrilled to see the team of Sinners get so much deserved recognition! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Finally got this amazing screenprint by the late, great Dan Hillier framed and up. It’s such a breathtaking print and only wish Dan had been around longer to continue producing such outstanding work like this. Solely missed!

Wishing everyone a lovely valentines day! Thanks to everyone who bought a card this year - it has been an awful start to the year with sales massively down, so really appreciate those of you who grabbed something this time around! 🖤
I’m off to watch some horror films as my love life is sadly dead 💀

What a fitting day for these beautiful vinyls from Made by Mutant to show up given Sinners just won best score and best compilation soundtrack at the Grammy’s! I picked up this copy as only just learned they used my prologue illustrations for the sleeves! Here they are with the original print I made

Honestly so surreal to have been a tiny part of Sinners and seeing it blow up the way it has. Never for a million years thought I would have my work feature in an Oscar nominated film 🤯
