How I work

Brief in detail:

After receiving a detailed brief by email, I make sure everything is clear, and then agree on a deadline for the initial rough sketches and the final project.

Roughs:

I will make a number of rough sketches, usually 3-5 and usually in colour.

Final image:

Once the final version has been decided upon, and any changes made, I will work on the final image. After submitting the image, sometimes there are more small changes to be made, usually quick and easy to solve in Photoshop. If you're happy with the work, I then send an invoice. And that's it.

 

 

About me…

I grew up in Hertfordshire, England, travelled around a bit, then studied Chinese and Japanese language at Leeds University. After that I ended up working as a Chinese translator in Shanghai for about five years (including a stint translating Marvel and Dark Horse comics, which was great), and as a graphic designer for the Westin Shanghai hotel. I’ve lived abroad ever since, and at the moment I'm back in China, but in a much more scenic bit near Tibet.
