I grew up on the west coast of Scotland and graduated with a master’s degree in illustration from the Royal College of art in 2001. My fine artwork has been exhibited in galleries in the UK, Europe and the USA, and my illustrations have been used for animation, product design, editorial, advertising and publishing. My nostalgic, retro style draws on a variety of themes, including propaganda, children’s books, vintage advertising, stamps, trade cards and toys from around the world. Travel has been a major inspiration, most specifically the four years I spent living in China.
