Curious Claytures telling curious tales

Model maker? Sculptor? Illustrator? Animator? Photographer? Crafty human? …Yes, all of the above 🤷🏼‍♂️

Based in London, UK, I’m a freelance illustrator and all-around maker of whimsical worlds. I specialise in handcrafting puppet characters that tell emotive, imaginative stories.

My work blends a range of techniques from concept art, model making, painting, costume sewing and set design to photography and digital editing, bringing each illustration or animation to life. The models themselves are built with air polymer clay, plaster cast, fabrics, acrylic paints, feathers and other found materials. Wire armatures and changeable features allow them to move, pose and express a variety of emotions.

I draw inspiration from the whimsy of everyday life, letting it guide how my characters move, react and interact. Every piece is a little world of its own, full of personality, story and playful curiosity.
