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...

One of my fav Krampus cards from a couple of years back, I always enjoy finding a new scene or scenario to put this little devil into each year!
International orders have now closed but it's still available for folks in the UK for another week.

Got a ‘new’ game in for my time off (which can’t come soon enough). How in the hell did Soul Reaver come out 25 years ago - I played the og to death! Can’t wait to revisit Nosgoth.

New zine alert! Passion project of Emma Cownley, a freelance writer, it’s such a fun read with interviews from artists and musicians. I was lucky to have a little feature on the inside cover with my Cat Coven print!
Go get a copy at: www.earwyrm-zine.co.uk
Would make a great little stocking filler!

Have you seen the new Frankenstein yet? Def more of an adaptation than a faithful retelling, but done with Del Toro's stylistic flair, a visual feast! Loved it, and Elordi's performance was a highlight, a stunning monster.
Here's my linocut rendition of the mad scientist himself Victor Frankenstein

So who watched Alien Earth?! I absolutely loved it, possibly the best thing to happen in the franchise in a long time. I hope they do a season two! In the meantime here's my little ode to the original with a xeno riding the nostromo like a kids pay per ride machine.
