A character drawing for a children’s book I’m currently working on.
Chris’s work is very diverse in medium, but can be summarised by his passion to bring a drawing to life. Working digitally and with hand rendered techniques equally proficiently his drawings breath life into quirky characters that are often humorous, absurd and bizarre.
Sometimes his characters inhabit their own technicolour space and sometimes they collide in a frenzy of activity in hand rendered black and white ink drawings.
He has also worked for many years as a motion graphic designer and animator, so he is able to take a concept for an illustration and turn it into a moving image.
Clients I have done various things including design, illustration and video production: Paulig, Hartwall, Fonecta, Valio, Iittala, Finnair, DNA, Tate Modern, WWF, The Walt Disney Company, National Geographic, Fox, Samsung, National Library of Scotland, Horniman Museum, Kelvingrove Museum, Edinburgh Zoo, Audi, Microsoft.
