Mortgage Strategy Cover Illustration

I completed this cool cover illustration for Mortgage Strategy earlier on this month. Here are the PDF’S I’ve just received from the art director. My brief was to illustrate George Osborne with a silhouette of Margret Thatcher as his shadow. This illustration was the cover image and also used to accompany a double page spread entitled ‘Chasing Shadows’. Which delves into the constant comparisons being made between George Osborne’s and the late Margaret Thatcher’s housing marketing strategies.

Advanced Photoshop 102 'Youth Fashion'

Last November Advanced Photoshop magazine commissioned me to create this illustration for a youth fashion tutorial.

I suggested a few images to the editor for me to use as the central figure for the tutorial and she went with the one below. As when I think of youth fashion I think of bright colours and swagger. I decided to change the models attire and hair colour and add some jewelery also, in an attempt to totally revamp the Model.
