The Baskerville Project

ABOUT

I arrived at a full-time career in illustration and typography via extra time served in the bizarre and magical worlds of pirate radio, lecturing, youth work, theatre and local newspapers.

Now into my second decade of creating words and pictures for clients all over the known world (yet to conquer Saturn), I've held solo exhibitions in London, Leeds, Birmingham, Manhattan and Rhode Island. Inspired by the penmanship of a more elegant era and with a muscular, if pedantic, grasp of the English language, I've wrapped my perma-stained fingers around words and pictures for advertising, identities, packaging, record sleeves and a trillion book covers! Nibs and ink are my thing. I draw on paper and ink-heavy, word-soaked imagery is my trademark. I'm represented in the USA by Bernstein & Andriulli of New York.

Though I creep into fashion and beauty, the worlds of advertising, fiction, packaging and music are where my work seems to fit most snugly.
