I got the chance to work with sports photographer James Cannon on a joint project. Here is what he had to say about it….’I’m always interested in the characters involved in Sport. Predators is a new series exploring those larger-than-life characters players become during peak moments of a game. Having seen Jo’s inspiring and playful illustrations bring photos to life, we collaborated on highlighting the competitive, predatory and energetic battle between animal and man.’

And credit where credit is due – A huge thank you to all the team for your skills, energy and enthusiasm throughout the shoot.

The wonderful Hoppers of London is a Sri Lankan restaurant run by the successful JKS team. I was taken on board to illustrate their main website, and then on the strength of that also the cocktail menu and Raksha mask's (which to adorn the walls.)

The food is delicious, as I was lucky enough to try, and the team wanted to reflect the fun energy of their cooking in the illustrations. We drew on Sri Lankan comics for inspiration resulting in a fun feel and I produced for the team illustrated recipe cards, send in a PR pack. I've been back for more hoppers and curry since and also gave a small talk about illustration to the staff members who attentively listened to me and then drew their own masterpieces.
