a bit about me
For as long as I can remember I have been drawing. And, with determination and hard work I became one of the lucky ones who managed to make a living as an artist. I have had the distinct pleasure of working in Comics, Games and TV on some amazing projects. Some of those were childhood dreams come true such as drawing Spider-man, and X-Men comics for Marvel as well as a number of their other books. I have also had the distinct honour of being a significant part of the Transformers universe with many comics and art projects along with appearances at conventions all over the world. The years illustrating comics were followed by Concept Design work for a couple of games studios. In more recent years I have been working as a Storyboard Artist on many live action shows including Doctor Who and Luther for the BBC and The Alienist, The Innocents and INVASION for Netflix as well as working as a Production Designer and Storyboard Artist for TV on children’s animated shows like Ruff-Ruff, Tweet & Dave and Matt Hatter Chronicles. In the Easter of 2018 I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the show Shane the Chef appear on Channel. The show was co-created and designed by me and its such a joy to see many years of work finally get out there. All this and many engagements as a lecturer and speaker at Schools and Universities.

CURRENTLY…
Creating HORIZON was not only a joy but the book has received great reviews. So the time came for another project. After a lot of thought, deliberation and playing with concepts the idea for OXYGEN was born. Work is going well and more images and development processes will appear on the OXYGEN BLOG

A BREAKTHROUGH
Following on from the joy of co-creating Frontier I started to develop an idea that was very much my own. In all the years of working as an artist in comics, the time came to finally write.
HORIZON is a semi-autobiographical journey of a young life. A journey through the ups and downs of emotions that challenge us at that age of ‘in between’. Follow the breakdowns and breakthroughs of Ali as she battles with her own demons (and robots) and eventually learns that there is far more to life than what you see.
