In 2023, Con gained recognition for his Bristol Jazz Festival animated poster series, reflecting his love of music, dance, and character illustration. With a background in designing for brands, he’s dedicated to seeking simple, yet clever ideas that make people smile—and linger in the mind long after.
As a neurodivergent artist, Con is always looking for clear, direct ways to communicate. He believes that complex messages are best conveyed with simplicity, emotion, and oftentimes a touch of humour.
Now based in creative and chaotic Bristol, Con studied design at Norwich University of the Arts and illustration at Hochschule Mainz in Germany. His creative process blends thoughtful ideas with a rhythmic, analog approach, using minimal linework, shifting textures, and wobbly imperfections to create a nostalgic, human touch that stands out against today’s increasingly polished digital aesthetic.
