A little about me

Hi, my name is Phil and I am a Freelance Illustrator and a Graphic Designer from Manchester, UK. My Illustration work primarily concentrates on Film, music and Television posters as that’s where my interests lay and I also work as a Graphic Designer helping clients with branding, logos and brochure work.

I have been interested in art and design all my life, starting from when I was just a nipper, looking at comic strips with my Grandad. I was too young to understand the humour, but I certainly understood how art could bring characters to life and tell a story.

At school and college I studied art and graphics, then I undertook a year-long foundation course to hone my skills in fine art, photography, illustration, and graphic design. During this time I experimented with textures, collages, and digital photography, and I was able to develop my abilities in Photoshop and Freehand.

For three years, I studied Illustration at the University of Plymouth. My course culminated with a project for the Plymouth Opticians, where I used a minimilistic approach to showcase the history of spectacles, and it was during this period of my life where I truly established my own unique style. 

Since my uni days I have worked steadily with a range of clients and have expanded my portfolio of products for my customers. With every piece I produce, I create art I would be pleased to receive, as I believe everything I work on should be of the highest quality.

I create bold imagery, using a mixture of Adobe Photoshop, Blender, Illustrator and hand drawn elements. I can provide graphic design work and illustrations for any project. From editorial illustrations and book covers, to business cards, posters and brochures, I have the capabilities to produce whatever you need.

If you would like to discuss your next project, I would love to speak to you. Please get in touch and let's start a collaboration.

Phil
