Flagship digtial illustration/mural – Mooloolaba Beach
This passion project involved about 150 layers of vector files and took about the same number of hours. Each line and character is meticulously crafted from multiple references and 60+ days of iterations. Since the original artwork is built in Adobe Illustrator, it’s scalable to any size. The posters and canvas prints are available on my online shop. Puzzle coming soon.
Digital Illustration & AI
With a degree in Illustration and 28 years as a working Graphic Designer, I bring both experience and adaptability to every project—helping clients turn creative ideas into polished, professional outcomes.
Style That Fits Your Brief (and Your Budget)
I don’t stick to one style. Instead, I adapt to what your project needs—whether that’s clean vector graphics, hand-drawn sketches, or high-end Photoshop work. I’m a technical chameleon with deep skills in Adobe, traditional media, and AI-enhanced workflows.
Using tools like Midjourney AI alongside Illustrator and Photoshop means we can explore visual directions faster, smarter, and more cost-effectively, without compromising on craft.
Common Styles Include:
- AI images using Dalle 3, Midjourney, and Photoshop are great for realism and variety of styles
Digital Airbrush, Ink, and Sketch Work
Traditional Hand-Drawn Concepts
If you’re after illustrations that are unique, effective, and tailored to your audience, I can help bring your vision to life—with or without AI.

From covers to internal spreads, I can illustrate just about anything you imagine. By combining AI-generated concepts with traditional techniques and expert Photoshop work, your book can look as unique as your story.
Whether you’re after rich hand-rendered artwork or efficient solutions using stock imagery and digital tools, I’ll tailor the approach to suit your budget and timeline.

Inking versus hand-drawn illustrations
Above you can see a practical application for the inking style on a Facebook banner, and below you can see an image that has been hand-drawn, scanned and vectorised in Adobe Illustrator.
Resizing, colourising and exporting advantages of vector images
By applying both of these methods within the Adobe Illustrator application, images can be resized without loss of resolution, plus they can be more easily edited in various applications like Photoshop.
Technical drawings
Adobe Illustrator is the best tool for this type of illustration. Grids and layers are used to draw over architectural drawings to simplify house designs for a customer brochure.

Pencil sketches
This pencil drawn illustration style is a looser style and still editable like inking but to a lesser degree.
Drawing and tracing on a lightbox
I draw in pencil, build up the image on a lightbox with multiple traces and then scan and trace with a brush tool within Adobe Illustrator. On a separate layer, I use the blob tool to do loose fills below the linework. This keeps the style of the illustration loose, plus it’s fairly easy to fill large blocks of space with little effort on the underlying colour layer.
Logo design

Concreting Logo and Website – A sketch based on combining an existing illustration and the owner’s face. The sketch was then made into a vector image using Adobe Illustrator and colourised into the brand colours of the business. Two additional versions of the logo were made to incorporate the trucks in the business. https://lizardsconcretepumping.com.au/
