Following are a few samples of design and illustration work from the past 15 years or so, including recent bi-lingual Welsh and English political flyers in Wales, (I did not do the translation!), work for Côr Cochion Caerdydd (Cardiff Reds Choir), letterheads and some older material: book cover illustrations, brochures, magazines, technical illustrations and others. With over 35 year experience I can offer a broad range of services both in print and electronic media, including pamphlets, flyers, magazine work, book and cover design, letterheads (stationery), envelopes and others. I hope the samples give an idea of my range. Free quotes are available if given a reasonably specific description of your needs. Work, naturally, is tailored to the customer's needs and aims.
