Introduction

I'm a freelance illustrator with a fierce (and frankly, dangerous) imagination. This blog is where I quarantine my creations long enough to deem them safe to move on to my website.

If you think I can help with your project, want to offer words of encouragement or simply say hi, feel free to get in touch.

If you want to be updated on my undertakings, then subscribe to this blog using the little box belowand you'll be informed every time I trap something and haul it (screaming and from time to time, kicking) into reality.

The Next Link

Not been able to throw myself into my personal work as much as i'd like as of late so I set myself the challenge of doing a picture in just one hour. I managed to complete this in just under.

Inspired by watching a documentary showing that primates have now been recorded using a number of tools I imagined what they'd be up to in the future if we left them well alone. It was tempting to put the ruins of our civilisation amidst the trees in the background but it became a little too distracting and interrupted the serenity of the scene.

Having learned of the brutality chimps are capable of when hunting or patrolling their territory, the fact that we have always been a pretty temperamental species is hardly a surprise.

Put it this way, they don't just eat bananas.

  1. Beautiful design work Nick. I especially like the eerie looking eye created by the branches that the ape stands in.

  2. I'd like to claim that was entirely intentional. In fact, what the hell... I will! (Its not though ;-)
