Triple M Racing
I’m fortunate to race a 1934 MG P-Type with the Triple M register. As a consequence I’ve been asked to apply my illustrations to help promote the series.

The Rhynd
Built well over a century ago, the Rhynd has been owned by the Foster family since the early 1950s, and up until the late 1990s the space was a working farm. The café used to be a grain store while the event space was a cattle shed. At the café we make delicious, home-cooked, locally sourced food. Come and give us a try – we’re only five minutes from Tentsmuir Beach! The Rhynd is a hive of activity. Part of the large arable Craigie Farm estate the Rhynd hosts weddings and events, hosts the monthly Bacon & Brakes car and…

ERA R5B ‘Remus’
The English Racing Automobiles B-Type voiturette racer, chassis R5B, affectionately known as ‘Remus’, is one of those magnificent, rare beasts that combine history, speed, spectacle, drivability and success. As we reflect on 20 years of the Revival it seems fitting that this very special racing car won the very first Revival race, the Woodcote Cup, in 1998. R5B was bought by Siam’s Prince Chula in 1936 for his ‘White Mouse’ racing team, for his debonair cousin, Prince ‘Bira’ Birabongse, to race alongside R2B and R12B ‘Hanuman’. Tony Rolt bought the car in 1937 and added some notable wins before the war, including…

Event Support
Designing for events requires not only creativity but demands accuracy as any mistakes will be magnified and there are no opportunities to correct errors. Designs have to be responsive, usually fast and very budget-sensitive. It can be pressured but the results are very satisfying.

Moon Fever
As one of the Goodwood Revival partners Sky present each year an interactive movie experience in the Earls Court building. In 2023 the movie being ‘filmed’ was a Barbarella-space-disco-extravaganza and they needed a 1960s-style poster to match.

Festival of Britain Map
Designing for the Goodwood Revival always presents interesting challenges. In 2021 the event celebrated the anniversary of the Festival of Britain and needed a site map in the style of the original hand-drawn map from 1951. Just like the original the Goodwood version was all hand-drawn, except this time using a graphics tablet.

Winning Isn’t Eveything
Winning Isn’t Everything It is an unexpected paradox that one of the hardest endurance motorsport disciplines to date required no competition licence. In fact, owners of competition licences were not eligible to compete and was in the very strictest terms; amateur. The Camel Trophy though, which celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2020, was no stranger to paradox. It was a fevered (sometimes literally) race across the world’s most inhospitable wildernesses that rewarded those that stayed behind to help, an international event that pitted countries against one another but did more to break down borders than a lot of other sports.…
