Nick Hornby Book Cover




I photographed a real heart for the cover of Nick Hornby's '31 Songs'. 
The book is about Nick Hornby's favourite songs, and how they have affected his life. Its semi-biographical in the way he goes through his life and the significance of the songs at the time. So, in essence, it is about life and music.

Profile painting



Did this a while ago. Its pretty big, on A1 paper. I enjoy working on illustrations on a large scale. I like the painterly style with thick use of acrylic paint, much like the impressionists used to do. It goes against everything my course tells me to do, no research, no purpose, no thumbnail sketches beforehand. Just did it because I felt like it, and I kind of miss that feeling.

R.I.P McQueen

Alexander McQueen made fashion design history when he featured the first ever 3d supermodel hologram at one of his shows. Truly a genius.

Chris Cunningham's ad for Gucci


Ever-inventive director Chris Cunningham blends calm with maelstrom in this new ad he directed, shot and produced for Gucci.

MINI BIO : Chris Cunningham made his directorial debut in 1997 with the music video for "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin, which was instantly praised, banned, and raved about by many people in the business. He followed up by making the music video for "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, and the astounding "All is Full of Love" video by Björk. Recently, he made his short-film debut, "Flex,". His incredible style alone makes him a director to watch out for in later years.
