Here's how I made my illustrated poster for Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty illustration

Here's how I made my poster for Sleeping Beauty at Exeter Northcott Theatre . I started with a pencil scribble just to get the shapes right, then drew a vector version in Illustrator before putting it all into photoshop to add shading and texture. And here's the final artwork!

Million Dollar Quartet

Recently I've switched from the Adobe 3D software to Maxon Cinema 4D. I spent a few weekends over the Christmas period doing tutorials and learning my way around it. The first project I've finished entirely in that one piece of software (no photoshop!) was Million Dollar Quartet for Barn Theatre – it's great for building neon title treatments because you can bend the glass tubes round really easily (that sort of thing was really time-consuming in the software I was using bef

Fireworks!

For Roots Mbili and Sheffield Theatres' production of Never Look Back I wanted an action shot of a teenage soldier. I wanted smoke and sweat, and a costume which hinted at the uniforms worn by African soldiers in WW2.

The Bookshop Murder

I’m so excited to share this project which I worked on for absolute genius Henry Lewis last year. The Bookshop Murder is an interactive puzzle book, with illustrations on every page.

I aged bits of paper the old-school way with tea bags — very much “primary school history homew

1984

The Ladies Football Club photoshoot

For this project I wanted to recreate four iconic Lionesses moments using every member of the 13-strong cast – sorry, SQUAD – of Sheffield Theatres ' production of The Ladies Football Club . I teamed up with local Sheffield photographer Nick Eagle , who shoots loads of sports talent. It was my first time working with him and he was brilliant — and thankfully brought far more football knowledge to the table than I did! Here are me and assistant photographer Ross Jarman get

Upside down photoshoot!

I had a lovely time creating this artwork for magicians Jay and Joss. They’ve been performing magic shows for years, but this is their first play with more of a storyline — a family show about a gamer who gets trapped inside a computer game world run by AI, packed with illusions and escapology. I knew I wanted an action-packed image showing Jay and Joss in some sort of perilous situation, and I also wanted to show something impressive happening for real, rather than faked. I
