New! The Hushed podcast artwork
I created the cover illustration for the new podcast The Hushed: Men, Stories, and What We Don’t Say, a thoughtful series exploring modern masculinity, men’s mental health and the conversations we often avoid.

I was recently commissioned to create an artwork which was gifted to the one and only Goldie.
The artwork depicts the man himself and a whole collection of items from his legendary career, and was printed with some lush gold foiling.
