Amy from Zatu Games invited me to answer some questions on their blog about my philosophies of illustration in board game design.

It was lovely to reflect on what makes good game art and how it's implemented.

If you'd like a quick read, link below:

Before a rule is read or a card is drawn, illustration is already shaping how a board game is understood, played, and chosen.

Hey everyone,

Hope you’re all winding down nicely for Christmas! I’m just closing out my current projects and opening a few spaces for early 2026.

If you’re planning to launch a game project next year and want an experienced, award-winning artist on board, I’ve discounted my day rate by a third to fill the remaining space on my calendar. It’s a small window and spots are first come, first served.

I’ve attached some samples of my work.
If something’s brewing on your end, I’d love to hear about it.

This never gets old, I'll never get complacent over this... I still get the same buzz of excitement every time I receive a copy of a game I've illustrated. I feel like George Mcfly receiving a copy of his book in Back to the Future.

Big Sur was a wonderful game to work on, such a great concept and one that lent heavily into visual cues to compliment the game mechanics. It the kind of work I love doing and I'm proud of the end result.

Thank you Chad Elkins for thinking of me to illustrate this project, and thank you for the copy! The production values, as I'd expect are top notch!

Hi all,
I find myself in an unusual situation where there has been a pause on a couple of big projects I've been working on. This happens on occasions when changes to the mechanics and reviews are put in place and it's left me with a few weeks free to take on new projects.
So, as this is additional time I wasn't expecting to fill, and because it's short notice, I'm incentivising my time and skills with a discount, 1/3 off for this duration.
So if anyone has any cool little indie projects they're looking to develop, and are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in doing artwork and design for over 50 published games, do get in touch.
Some examples below....

Over the last few years I've spent my spare time on passion projects, getting back to my roots and illustrating the things I love. They've always been quite personal to me, something I do to decompress so I've never really done anything commercial with them.

My last piece based on The Lord of the Rings has gained quite a bit of interest so today I've uploaded this and my back catalog to Etsy, to see if they're of interest to the wider world.

Lets see what happens, if anything at all. Wish me luck!

I absolutely loved illustrating this game and I'm so happy it's received such a glowing overview by Jamey Stegmaier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B6GsMdvuMI
It's stuff like this that makes me want to get up in the morning and illustrate more games!

This never gets old. We've funded in the first 24 hours!

Thank you so much for supporting this project, be it through comments and likes while I've been developing this over the last year or by supporting the campaign and getting involved.

Thanks guys, you're brilliant!
