Kevin at Deloitte Services LP got in touch with a request for a cover image depicting a kind of digital spiderweb. Reflecting a story about how manufacturing companies are looking to utilise digital supply networks.

As there was a concept of sorts already in place it was then a question of how best to realise the image. The sketch (below) was approved but there was a subsequent request for a tighter draft and indication of colour before final approval. Usually colour evolves during the process of working up an illustration and often is not resolved until the very end. For that reason I rarely commit to colour roughs. In this case though, for what is a very graphic image, I knew upfront how the colours would pan out so I was able to provide a very accurate impression.

This illustration was made for The Wall Street Journal and a piece about how evolution has not perfected our species with the result that we now have all sorts of physical problems. I was asked to predominantly depict a stylized male body with a knee brace and cane, tissues and vitamins.

In addition to the cover image below, Tyler at Security Management magazine asked me to also create a full page illustration and spot to accompany the article on chemical plant protection.

I was asked by Tyler at Security Management magazine to create a cover illustration based on the theme of chemical plant protection - specifically from the elements with flooding being a particular hazard. There was the opportunity to depict something quite dramatic and the idea of the hand lifting the plant from the crashing waves was well-received.

Security Management has a unique cover style: black or vary dark background with a dominant colour. The image here really dictated that blue should be the colour choice.

Kevin from D Magazine recently got in touch requesting an illustration to go with an article about 'deep brain stimulation'. This is a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device which sends electrical impulses to specific targets in the brain for the treatment of movement and neuropsychiatric disorders.
