The task for this project was to create 180 pages of medieval manuscript woodcut style illustrations with a contemporary feel. For this I used a blend of graphic novel & rich picture techniques integrated with historical reference material. Enabling me to use my experience of historic art and contemporary comic story telling upon for the client. Working with writer Dr Eleanor Janega we were able to tell a story spanning the whole of the Middle Ages.
Client: West Midlands History
Working with the author and historian Cathy Shingler we made a Children's book that not only told the fascinating story of the largest Saxon Hoard ever found but of the people involved in its discovery. All the way from the metal detectorist to the various scientific experts. We also were able to convey a story about the most famous Mercian King Penda! This enabled me to use a comic style for the historical narrative and a water-colour saxonish style for the mythological story.

Client: The Wellcome Trust
This series was commissioned by Sophie Churchill's Corpse Project, funded by the Wellcome Trust. The aim was to convey research that problemitised what to do with the bodies of people once they have died. Each picture had to convey complex information. I was able to curate these various messages to reflect back in to the look of each art work. The final work was projected on to the walls of a galley space in a showcase finale.
