"Scotland the Dump", a collaboration with Bella Caledonia, an online and print magazine combining political and cultural commentary, particularly around the theme of modern Scotland and Scottish affairs.

"Scotland the Dump" is a graphical attempt to categorise and quantify the types and locations of chemical, radiological, biological and military dumping and abuses of Scotland since WW2, to bring a whole range of poorly publicised and understood facts and stories onto one page and to try and get these across to as many people as possible.

Schematic sets of things on a Scottish theme.

I was invited to help Pedal on Parliament - PoP - in producing eye-catching promotional materials for a mass cycling protest ride they were planning way back in 2013 and have been involved ever since. The brief is simple; produce posters for a cycling protest ride without making it seem either too "cycling" that it might put casual cyclists off and without it seeming too "political" that it put less political people off. Simple!

The imagery has evolved over the years, but has always tried to convey a sense of inclusive cycling-for-all, and a protest that is all about getting as many peoples of all ages, shapes, sizes and creeds together to call for safer cycling for all. We're still trying...

Pedal on Parliament - PoP - are a Scottish grass-roots cycling campaign pushing for the political change necessary to make cycling safe and accessible for all in Scotland.

A commission to provide a fundraising poster image for "The Ferret", an investigative journalism writer-subscriber co-operative in Scotland.
A wide range of editorial-style campaign images for Friends of the Earth Scotland, focusing on Fracking and Underground Coal Gassification.
A print cover image for the successful Edinburgh Festival of Cycling 2017 programme. The theme is a postage stamp celebrating 200 years since Karl von Drais first rode his Laufmaschine and ushered in the era of 2-wheeled personal transport.
Some identity images for the Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS), an independent, professional weather forecasting service specifically for mountain sports in the UK. A unique and vital service that is widely relied upon to provide accurate forecasts for the most extreme environments.

Regular commission producing various illustrations to accompany articles in Cycling Active magazine by IPC Media.

Commission to produce leaflet and poster image and rear layout for Scottish Pen's Scottish Pen Presents series of literary debates which will follow the route of the Queen's Baton Relay for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

The image plays on the theme of bookshelves, stacked betweenwith references and hints to the events in the series, as well as geographical nods to the host locations and the home countries of the Commonwealth participants of each event.

As you may have noticed, I'm into cycling, bikes and cycle campaigning. And this often provides the inspiration for myself or others to do a spot of illustration.
