Ink, wash and crayon sketch.

Drawn with rollerball pen on textured paper, coloured in Photoshop. Used for wedding stationery.

I’m an expert (ink & wash).

One of my favourite Douglas Adams quotes – digital image, using a photograph of the moon.

Illustrations for a Community Health Council annual report. The cover illustration, captioned “We are here to help”, was meant to be a sort of superman. I was told later that it closely resembled the Chief Executive, who I didn’t know.

The doctor with the megaphone was meant to illustrate a piece about poor communication between doctors and patients.

The roadside stall illustrated a piece about rural dispensing services.

Illustration for a local authority housing publication. Ink drawing, scanned and coloured.

Digital image, an illustration for an article about nuclear waste. I cheated by combining images found on the web, then Photoshopped.

It would probably work better  with the CND symbol, which is also round, but I like the acid yellow of the radioactivity symbol, which suggests toxicity.
