Devizes Indie Shops
An illustrated map of my new home town of Devizes for InDevizes,
the directory of Independent shops, eateries & drinkeries, artists
& artisans. The website already had a good online map, so this was a
way to transfer that information into more of an illustration whilst
keeping it usable.
The
map needed to work as an attractive illustration by itself as well as
part of a colour coded directory available as a download and a printed
map to be picked up from the independent retailer network.
The
branding for InDevizes has a very bright and cheerful colour palette,
so the landmarks worked best with more of a subtle tone, and the
brighter colours could then be used to show off the various zones of the
town for the directory.

We Are Waterloo Map
A fold-out map of the Waterloo and Southwark area for We Are Waterloo,
featuring some of the assets nearby, particularly highlighting parks in
the area from the well-known to small ‘pocket parks’ on streets.

Country Living "Moving To..."
Country Living magazine is a lifestyle magazine focusing on country-inspired interiors,
gardening, recipes, crafts and pets. I illustrate a regular "Let's Move
To..." column that sets out the benefit of moving to a different part of
the UK. Locations so far have included New Forest, Rural Essex,
Pembrokeshire, the Lake District, Devon, North Shropshire and Yorkshire.
Every
other month, the feature includes a UK map updated with new
illustrations and colours each time to reflect the relevant region, a
close-up map of the area discussed and a small transport-themed spot
illustration.

and law firms, fifteen stations spanning eleven tube lines, overground
and Eurostar along with many of London’s well-known buildings and
features.

The Unauthorised Biography Of Ezra Maas
A set of hand-drawn illustrated maps for for a new special edition of The Unauthorised Biography Of Ezra Maas by Daniel James. Daniel describes the book in New Writing North that this book is “an unorthodox hybrid of literary fiction, biography
and detective story, written by a former journalist and told through a
combination of prose fiction, biographical chapters, news clippings,
academic footnotes, emails, phone transcripts and more.”
The
weathered map illustrations on hotel stationery and scraps of paper
show the author and narrator's travels through New York, London and
Newcastle all tied together with diagrams and annotations. The book was
nominated for the Guardian's Not The Booker Prize in 2019.
