Since graduating I have devoted my spare time to building my skill as a concept artist and digital designer. I have completed Commissions for cd covers, concept artwork and portraiture. I primarily use Photoshop and a Bamboo Tablet, but with my skill in 3D design I will be branching into some 3D illustration very soon.

For a month duration in 2015, I worked on the creative set up of Lapland UK. I took charge of the Blacksmith and Sweet Shop window as you can see in my portfolio. This involved the creation of a realistic looking forge from Chipboard and Baton. I also carved the mountains in the Sweetshop window from expanding builders foam with internal wooden supports.

Hideout Festival 2015

Pangaea Festival 2014
Bestival 2014
My most recent job involved working as part of the Site Crew for Hideout Festival 2015 in Zrće, Croatia. Here I assisted with the erection of the 16ft LED cube, the light cones and geo-shades, as well as signage, painting and manual lifting. The build was very tough, especially with the heat, but a good time was had by all, and the overall product was great.

Set Designer, Decor Manager, Decor Artist
Truck Festival, Entirety Presents Palm City
Jul 2015 - Jul 2015
I was asked to design and build the stage set for the Palm City stage at Truck Festival 2015. I was involved from the very beginning in this one, being given general ideas from the company manager, and working with those to create something that would look great in front of a crowd. I worked closely with the lighting guys and we decided the best route would be to create something that could be 3D mapped. Unfortunately, given the short time frame, they weren't able to map it to the full extent intended, however they still did a great job given our seemingly endless line of restrictions and obstacles. As well as the stage, I was asked to create an entranceway which I designed to look like a road tunnel. I also designed an build a large 7ft sign based on the logo for the stage which met people as they passed through the tunnel.
Overall, the build was a complete success!
