About Sean

Sean has spent over thirty years working in Publishing mostly with Magazine brands.  He sits on the Professional Publishers Association (PPA) Technical team in London advising on all aspects of Publishing and is a regular speaker at Media Industry events.

Sean’s sketch a day project, started in 2013, has built up a large social following with his Pinterest board having over 500,000 views per month.

Sean’s illustration and sketching style is a combination of traditional graphite, watercolour and ink on paper with digital finishing and preparation for print. His focus is on the quintessential aspects of Britain, whether it is the wildlife, the landscapes and landmarks, or the people and their activities.

Sean was born on the Pennine hills of West Yorkshire where his love of nature developed. He now lives with his family in a small village in Buckinghamshire, close enough to London for work but still in the countryside he enjoys.

“My work is about catching a moment in a fluid and unconstrained manner. To portray a feeling or an emotion as simply as possible. If I’m not out in the wilds sketching, then I’ll be in my studio drawing or painting, it’s what I love to do.”

Welcome to my sketch a day project.

Posting one of my sketches every day since 2013

Sketch a day.

Whenever possible, I get in front of nature directly and sit and draw in one of my many sketchbooks.

Failing that, I have become a prolific photographer, having taken over sixty thousand images which I can now use as a reference for studio work.

The sketch-a-day started as a way of increasing my drawing output. A way of forcing myself to produce something creative in nature that I could then share on the various social networks. These days my daily sketch has become more of a creative exercise an artist’s version of the morning jog. Something to satisfy the creative side of my brain and keep it fit.
