I’m an illustrator based in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
My illustrations are produced using a cross-hatch technique with a black fine line pen. Layer upon layer of small ink lines are built up to create light and shade. It’s a very time consuming process.
Recently I have been experimenting with printmaking techniques. I’ve enjoyed this new approach as it has added a sense of unpredictability to the process of creating the work, an opportunity for ‘happy accidents’.
Combined with my cross-hatching, this new approach can be seen in sixteen new illustrations for a hardback edition of ‘The Woman in Black’ by Susan Hill (Penguin Books Oct 2023)
