About

Hello and welcome!

I’m Moses, a freelance illustrator and visual artist based in the UK I have a love and passion for art and storytelling. I’m inspired by the art of storytelling and its unique ability to move, connect and engage with people.

In my current personal practice, I create stylised characters and illustration projects to explore my internal worlds and struggles in search of healing and understanding.

I studied animation at the UAL London College of Communication, after my degree I decided to look into the world of illustration to see how storytelling worked in this genre.

I looked especially into children’s book illustrations, graphic novels, comic books and indie books as pools of inspiration. I particularly grew very fond of graphic novels and their unique approach to storytelling.

This lead me to create and self-publish my own graphic novel Two Tales in 2021 which helped to further develop my signature and eqlectic style, penmanship, technical skills and artistry as well as my understanding and knowledge of visual storytelling and pacing.

I am currently to illustration based opportunites and happy to discuss your project further.

Kindest regards,
Moses

Mudo's World is a story centred around a mischievous fun-loving boy on the quest to achieve his dream of making the world's greatest potion. In this little space, filled with strange yet enticing characters, enriching him with special powers and abilities, Mudo's World is the place where one can embrace the make-believes, the joys and high adventure. Mudo's World is a passion project I started in 2023 after a having mental breakdown and Mudo had come to my rescue. Since then, I have been refining his story, and exploring his world, slowly bringing it to life in my spare time

This is a digital illustration based on the theme of 'Self Worth', I consider this piece a digital self-portrait I created in Clip Studio Paint. I created this during a time of low self-esteem surrounded by external circumstances that questioned my self-worth. In order to counteract or fight back the negative spiral, I reminded myself of who I am and what I have. As it can be very easy to allow ones self to be dragged here and there by such negativity that we forget who we are. And so this was made to be a reminder of our deep worth.

Two Tales is a 168-page silent story of a Protagonist in search of Purpose and a Stranger in search of a Soul. Two Tales was my first self-published silent book created during the pandemic (2018 - 2021). I was inspired by shifting and fleeting moments of day-to-day life we tend to ignore, a Mystery I attempted to capture. I took further inspiration from both personal and shared human experiences, exploring themes of Purpose and the internal yearning and unraveling of the Soul. A wordless story spread across 168 fully illustrated pages in full colour with no two pages being the same, all told with an immersive dream-like quality.
