Fan Art Collection
My collection of Fan Art has developed as an integral part of my wider illustration work, using the same detailed linework, pattern, and mixed-media approach to explore the characters and stories that resonate with me most. Drawing inspiration from films, tv, books, games, music, and anime, I create portraits that celebrate both my personal obsessions and delighted admirations.
Through Fan Art, I explore storytelling within a shared cultural space, reimagining familiar characters through my own visual language of intricate mark-making, expressive colour, and just a wee bit of glitter! Fan Art allows me to engage deeply with the narratives and worlds that have shaped my interests, while also connecting with others who share that same enthusiasm.
Being part of numerous artist alleys at comic conventions is a central part of my artistic practice. It offers an opportunity to showcase my work within my local fandom communities, connect with fellow nerds, and celebrate the joy of shared storytelling.
Gotta Draw 'em All
My Pokémon illustrations hold a special place within my Fan Art collection, as it is one of the few series I have loved continuously as both a child and an adult, and that nostalgia is woven throughout these artworks.
I am continually drawn back to the richness in the worldbuilding; the sense of adventure, connection, and quiet magic in every game and series. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be the Pokémon universe, and this body of work is my way of doing just that! Through intricate patterns, expressive colour, and playful touches of texture, I reimagine familiar characters, celebrating both their unique charms and sense of childhood fun.
This collection is both a personal tribute and a joyful exploration, rooted in long-held affection and an ongoing fascination with a world that continues to inspire me. If I don't get to live in the Pokémon world where I can catch 'em all, then I just have to make it my mission to draw them all!
