I am a big fan of Martin's work. I purchased a limited edition RISO print "Lapwing" by Martin and it didn't disappoint. Martin's work really stands out through his vibrant, striking colours and beautiful natural scenery. I highly recommend brightening up your home with any one of Martin's illustrations. 5 stars!

I find Martin's work very uplifting. The colour choices are great and the designs are so interesting. I purchased a cushion from his website.
I chose 'Nervous Norbert', a Riso designed print.
The design and colours were perfect for what I wanted. I am really pleased - it makes me smile everyday.

What do you love most about your job?
The variation of work that I receive. One day it could be a cover design, the next a shop front or editorial piece.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Keen to work for myself, I'd worked in education for 13 years and as much as I enjoyed it, I wanted to go back to my passion, which was creating art and illustrations.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am approachable, hard-working and keep good lines of communication open for all project work. My own contracts set out timelines that both myself and my clients can agree on and stick to.
I'm open and honest about my work and price accordingly.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Much of my customer focus is through video call or email. Where clients wish to meet face to face, they are welcome to meet at my studio. Building regulations require masks be worn (aside from exemption).
Illustration
I take on bespoke illustrations of most kinds. Whether this is website art, packaging, card design, book cover, window art - or pretty much anything that involves illustration or graphic design.
