Author's Comment:

What inspires and informs your work?

Visually, I take inspiration from classic animation art, old book covers, alt comics and the massive amount of great illustrators and cartoonists I’ve discovered over the last few years. I look at a broad range of stuff that I strive to learn from or capture the essence of, but generally everything comes back to a desire for appealing cartooniness, clean lines, strong shapes and distinctive colour schemes. My ideas sometimes come from an urge to capture a warmness or a pleasant feeling, while some of my more downbeat or miserable ideas come from intensely scrutinising my own navel and trying to expand on the observations.
