Custom designed burlesque/comic illustration

The themes of my illustrative burlesque artwork are based on individuals that have made an impact. I enjoy creating visuals for performers as it explores the extrovert. I am fascinated by the fact that people often lead double lives, one that is quite grounded and human whilst also being able to become somebody completely different. I like to put my own representation on this transition by producing illustrations that are semi-realistic and sometimes dreamlike.


I am influenced by the glamour of the forties and fifties and the representation of the female form. With all my commissions, I discuss with the individual their experiences of the stage, and the things that make them tick. I like to know everything in detail, such as favourite colours, scenerios, appearance and what creates and feeds their stage persona. With this done, I then add my own spin on things, and create the illustration tailored to the individual.
