creative services

I mostly work with surf shops, festivals, independent clothing brands, cafes, ethical businesses, outdoor-led projects, venues and public spaces that want artwork and design rooted in place and lived experience.

If your brand cares about people, place and planet, I think we are a good fit.

Hey, I’m Ray.

I'm an artist, illustrator and brand designer based in Devon.

I work with surf, skate, adventure and lifestyle brands to create designs inspired by wildlife, adrenaline, coastlines, mountains and movement.

 

exploring whats outside, drawing from whats inside 

My work is inspired by what i experience outside; like surfing, skating, skiing and time spent in wild places. It’s less about what things look like and more about what they feel like in the moment. Emotion, atmosphere, movement, noise, silence, all of it. I’m not just drawing places, I’m drawing how those experiences feel.
