Testimonials

“Tony is a joy to work with, his positive attitude is amazing. The work he produces is always on brief and to a high standard. He is friendly, professional and organised, so you can expect neat files and fantastic visual work. He is fantastic at pushing the creativity of each and every project he tackles. We would definitely recommend working with him.
- Daniel Bowling, Creative Services Director, Yoto

”I can’t recommend Tony enough. He is able to get to the core of what I’m thinking, and turn it into a stunning piece of editorial illustration, week in, week out. He works fast, but without it impacting quality; his style is compelling and helps my newsletter stand out in a sea of content. Tony is collaborative, professional and a true pleasure to work with.”
- Kevin Maguire, Editor in Chief, The New Fatherhood

Tony is a pleasure to work with, he's very swift in responding and takes direction extremely well. I particularly enjoy his professional approach throughout all the steps of a project with PDF presentations with explanations and artwork options. I would definitely work with Tony again and would recommend him to others, very reliable and professional.
- Adele Juraza, Art Director/Designer, Ferment Magazine

"Tony is a true collaborator. He interrogates the brief, understands and builds on the concept, and shows real care and enthusiasm for producing the best work he can."
- Alex Vissaridis, Editor and Art Director, Shellsuit Zombie Magazine

"It's Tony's ability to interpret a brief that is such a plus. Using the illustration to add to the story rather than just strictly illustrating the words. Absolutely commission him. He's creative, professional, respectful and meets deadlines."
- Sue Wright, Director, Tiny Owl Workshop
