The Curious Incident Of the Dog in the Night Time



Working out some spreads for Mark Haddon's 'A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time', created for a second year illustration brief at uni.

Stokes Croft Prints




I made a series of litho/mono prints combining textures and observational drawings of shop fronts in Stokes Croft for a project at uni...


The big grey one is called Westmoreland House and together with the old carriage works next door, it's become somewhat of a Bristol landmark. To some it's an eyesore waiting to be ripped down, but I think it's intriguing and pretty tragic - given its sketchy recent history as the last resting place of at least a few graffiti artists and outcasts....as well as imposing a giant question mark over the future of these abandoned buildings and others like it.
