I'm a writer and illustrator based in rural Herefordshire, England.

​

I studied Photographic Art at the University of Newport, where I explored the relationship between images and storytelling. Since then, I've continued to develop my own digital illustration style, combining traditional textures with colourful characters and imaginative worlds.

​

I've always been interested in folklore, myths, legends and the stranger parts of history. Give me an old map, a crumbling castle or a peculiar historical tale, and I'm happy. These are the things that inspire my illustrations, which often feature a mixture of mystery, humour and a little bit of magic.

​

I'm also the creator of Animated Historian, a YouTube channel where I write, research and illustrate videos exploring history's more bizarre moments, usually with a healthy dose of dark humour. From extraordinary historical figures to spectacularly unfortunate mishaps, I love digging up the stories that prove the past was often much stranger than fiction.

​

Storytelling is what ties everything together for me. Whether I'm writing a script about an unfortunate historical incident or working on a new fantasy adventure, I love creating stories and illustrations that make people curious about what might happen next.

​

When I'm not drawing or writing, you'll usually find me wandering around the countryside, exploring somewhere old and interesting, or with my nose in a book. I'm always on the lookout for little details and odd stories that might spark my next idea.
