This section shows off my skills and expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud’s suite of software. It may also give you an insight into my more macabre sense of humour.

Adobe Illustrator

One of my favourite things to do in Illustrator is to create shape and depth through creative use of lines.

Negative Space Illustration

This is fun and elaborate play on words. Negative space is a valuable design tool and refers to the space around and between the subject of an image. In this case, negative space takes a cosmic horror direction.

Braincut Illustration

Inspired by a quote in Adam Johnson’s novel, The Orphan Master’s Son. Braincut refers to those who have been lobotomised.

“But it was the slack faces of the braincut you never forget…”
