The introduction of the word ‘selfie’ into the Oxford English Dictionary marked a huge change for the world of portrait photography, brought about by the flood of self-portraiture across social media channels.

But is this how we really see ourselves? Does this truly reveal a part of ourselves to the viewer? Looking to explore the current notions of the self portrait, #Bagsie is a
stunning and truly creative collaboration between Creative Advice Network, Soapbox & Sons and award winning photographer Jonathan Knowles. The project sought out the talents and personal interpretations of 10 artists, asking each to draw/paint/create a self portrait on a paper bag that reflected their personality within.

For the self-portrait I looked deep into my inner self and found last night's meal; a colourful vibrant mix of Indian take-away food, delivered in a classic brown paper bag.

With the Big Apple I wanted to keep the typography in a similar style but have subtle nuances between the 5 boroughs of New York. So Manhattan is written in a font style that echos the height of the buildings with the clouds, Empire State building shape and the congested feel. Brooklyn is famous for it's brick buildings so I used more blocky letters and so on.

I was honoured to work with Amnesty International on their annual 'Write for Rights' campaign. I was asked to produce twelve illustrations representing cases of human rights abuses from around the world. Each artwork was designed to tell the stories of people's suffering and encourage Amnesty's supporters to write to them and their respective governments for action. My imagery has been used across online, print and outdoor campaigns across the globe and has helped Amnesty gain over 3.7 million sign-ups, please click here to take action
