Editorial Illustration Series, Part III
This piece is part of a four-piece editorial illustration series inspired by New York and its most iconic landmarks. For this one, I wanted to focus on the Empire State Building and keep it bold, simple, and graphic. The limited colour palette and clean shapes were a big part of the direction, and it reflects a more stylised side of my illustration work.

Auckland, New ZealandI’m an Auckland-based illustrator, fashion illustrator, portrait artist, and surface designer with a love for creating artwork that feels personal, stylish, and full of character. I create portraits, custom illustrations, and fashion and editorial-inspired pieces, with a strong eye for detail and composition. Sketching and drawing are a big part of my creative process, and I love bringing ideas to life in a way that feels expressive, elegant and meaningful.
