World Illustration Awards 2023 Shortlisted!

Shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards! Honoured to be selected and to reach the final round before winners are selected. It’s as much a tribute to a fantastic project for the London Philharmonic Orchestra 2022/23 Season Publicity which allowed me to produce some fantastic work – it was a fabulous brief and inspirational project.
