This is a portrait of Labour MP Yvette Cooper.
I was given the image by Inside Housing Magazine, and asked to do one they had already seen on my myspace page on my friend. I was given a week to do the portrait, but I turned it round within 24 hours.
This was also my first (not the last I hope) freelance illustration I had done for a magazine.
This is a portrait of a VW Splitscreen Camper.
Computer Arts had seen a vector illustration I had done of a Hot Rod, and asked me if I would be interested in doing a 4 page tutorial on how to do it. So I used my own photography and then drew the camper and done screen shots as I went alone to show readers on how to do it. The hardest part was to get it into 22 stages, and do the write up on it.
This is a portrait of Prince Charles.
When I started my business, I was started up by the Princes Trust. So when Prince Charles was coming to Northampton to see how the money was being spent, I was askedif I would be interested in doing a protrait of him and and a canvas print.
I never got to meet him, but my portrait got onto the local Anglia News that night!
