Fear Of Flying

Fear of Flying

I got a request from AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) to illustrate a story about a woman who spends her whole life afraid of many things, in particular flight. At the age of fifty-two she conquers her fear and takes her first voyage in an Aviat Husky.

The Turning Point

Biologics

The Arthritis Foundation asked for a new image to be created for use as a spread in Arthritis Today magazine. The subject was about the development of life-changing drugs called biologics which have been an effective treatment for people with arthritis. The central idea was to depict the sufferer and the treatment, facilitating an escape from the pain.

Biologics

I also created a second spot image for the article focusing on the chemistry involved in the making of the drug.

Re-Connection

Dementia Therapy

I got a call from Catherine at The New York Times requesting concept sketches for a piece in their science section on cognitive rehabilitation, about how dementia therapy is helping patients. As is usual with newspaper work this was something of a rush job, so I had a day for conceptualising and a day for finished art. Always a bit nerve-wracking, as ideas can be elusive, but fortunately, at the 11th hour, the idea of re-connecting strands was much liked. It was then a question of balancing the tones and colours for the finished artwork.

Stop Thief!

Abduction

Corporate Counsel magazine got in touch requesting a cover image that addresses the need for greater security in the online world. Cyber attacks by hackers are increasing in the U.S. but now there are new efforts are underway to implement data privacy and cybersecurity legislation - new methods employed to prevent hacking. The editors were keen to use a super-hero type theme which I sketched up and submitted a second idea too, a mouse-trap and keyboard combination designed to entrap the would-be hacker.

Marillion: Clutching At Straws

Marillion: Clutching At Straws

This is an album review illustration for Prog magazine. A Marillion boxset entitled 'Clutching At Staws'. Essentially an expanded re-issue of what is regarded as their masterpiece. The songs are written from the viewpoint of a heavy drinker so my initial idea was of a pub tabletop with various pints, ashtrays and wet circles with band members appearing in the beer froth. As the character featured in the songs is a strong presence it was suggested instead that this is who I should depict, in a pub, featuring a jukebox and posters from the time (late 80s).

Embryonic

Continuing with a favourite theme, unexplained psychic occurrences from the Victorian era. A little niche I'll grant you, but one that allows for a satisfying combination of elements. A small but growing collection I hope to add to from time to time.
