Hello, I’m a freelance artist illustrator and screen printer originally from London now based in Brighton. Having worked in the creative arts practically all of my professional life, my work spans various industries including film & TV, the charity sector, music, and the medical industry. I also have extensive experience in branding, & editorial/publishing, and much of what I have learned in each discipline cross pollinates and gives my work insight that I wouldn’t have benefited from if I had only worked as either an illustrator or designer exclusively. I’ve now come full circle and concentrate on illustration and contemporary art with some branding and design projects for select clients. I’m always looking for interesting projects and people to work with and I like the challenge of creating something new and engaging. Please feel free to contact me and see if we can create something special! Peace and prosperity for the future… Luke…
