2. About this website

This website is a personal portfolio. Its purpose is to showcase a selection of my work across graphic design, illustration, photography and game art, to tell you a little about me, and to let you get in touch if you would like to.

The Site is provided for general information only. There is no online shop, no booking or contact form, and no user accounts to register for. If you would like to discuss a project, ask a question or request permission to use any of my work, you are welcome to contact me by email (the address is on the contact page) or through the social media profiles linked from the Site.

Client and commissioned work

Some of the pieces shown in my portfolio are client or commissioned projects, displayed here for demonstration purposes to illustrate the kind of work I do. The intellectual property and trade marks in those projects, including the brands, logos and other branding they contain (for example, the branding of a client photography studio), remain the property of the respective clients or owners.
