A Bit About Me
At the time of writing this I’m a 35, I live in Scotland, in a small coastal town.
I’ve worked in community art projects doing workshops of drawing comic books, figure drawing, print making, sculpture and stop motion animation, along with many other jobs not art related but where at times I’d get to express my creativity.
In 2017 I decided to return to university and attended The University of the West of Scotland, where I was granted a third year entry into their Digital Art and Design course. I graduated in 2019 with First Class Honours.
Univeristy provided me a number of creative opportunities working on collaboration with a group of South Korean performers, working on the design and animated transitions of the universities 25th anniversary showcase, and having some work exchanged and displayed at Hokkaido University in Japan.
I started a career in education after university doing a post graduate deploma and teaching art as a high school teacher for a year, but as one of over one hundred art teacher graduates per year in Scotland and for personal reasons unable to move I decided on another path and dream.
I began working as a Freelance artist shortly after my teaching ended. I decided to combine my love for tabletop roleplaying games and art. Since I have built a following on a range of social media by creating commission artwork for private and commercial clients clients, creating a range of artwork, from characters, items and backgrounds for products available on Drivethru or that have been successfully kickstarted.
I’ve also designed three games of my own, with a fourth on the way at the time of writing, two of which I have successfully crowdfunded myself via Kickstarter. The other I funded a small print run myself and it has been selling consistently since. One of these games, Abbadon: The Thirteen Seals, was even nominated for a CRIT Award in 2024 for best indie game. I look forward to bringing more games to folks tables as well as some extra content for my existing games.
