New (official) work: @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein ⚡ (2025)

Really enjoyed working on this campaign with the lovely folk at Netflix and it was an honour to have created this poster for the master of the macabre, Guillermo del Toro.

Made at Empire Design.

I couldn't resist making my own fan poster for @realgdt.bsky.social's 'Frankenstein'. The tagline reminded me of Michelangelo's painting, 'The Creation of Man/Adam'. Call this a homage.

Imaginary Worlds (2011)
Medium: Pen on paper

Really excited to have had my artwork put up as part of a local exhibition. First time I've seen it framed in 10 years.

It's probably the piece of art I'm most proud of so it's a joy to share it with others in person!

Danny Boyle wearing my hand drawn type I made for the 28 Years campaign on his head, weird flex but there you go.

New work: Bring Her Back f⭕r A24.

Made by the team at Empire Design. I was thrilled to have got to work on a Philippou Brothers film after their break-out 'Talk to Me' and this one goes even further in cementing their twisted minds as great horror directors. #BringHerBack

Believe the hype, Sinners is fucking sick! Ryan Coogler absolutely smashes it with this. Great performances, cinematography, production design and one of the best scores of the year. I went in knowing nothing and loved it. Go see it! #SinnersMovie

New work: 'A Thousand Blows' 3D Billboard for Disney

Made at Empire Design. Video by Ocean Outdoor.

I had a fun time working up this billboard from early 3D builds and concepts we created using footage we art directed from the motion shoot which was then refined by Ocean Outdoor. A great collab!

And for my final #Oscars illustration this year and to wrap up the season I give you one of my favourites of last year, #TheWildRobot. A phenomenally animated, heartwarming story that didn't leave a dry eye in the cinema. A staggering bit of filmmaking.

See you next year ✌️

As another bonus #Oscars    illustration I had to give recognition to the beautiful film '#Flow' by @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. This one stood out for its unique approach to storytelling using only animals with no dialogue.

Sometimes I do an extra Oscars illo for a nominee outside of Best Picture. This year it's for a beloved true British institution from Aardman Animations. That's a turnip for the books!
