Zendaya is LIFE

In what has been quite a significant period of editorial work, 2025 has extended my publishing streak with ‘Zendaya is Life,’ by Kathleen Perricone.
As with her previous title, ‘Beyoncé is Life,’ it features 30+ illustrations (by yours truly) of Miss Zendaya Coleman.
I am a STAUNCH devotee to the sartorial world of Zendaya, so I was absolutely DELIGHTED to have the honour of working with Quarto and Kathleen again, capturing some of her most significant ensembles. (Honestly, we could have easily added an extra 30+, she is an ICON.)

As with its predecessor, this book is one in a series of uniquely illustrated editions, each chronicling the evolution of some of our most beloved pop-culture figures.

You can find ‘Zendaya is Life’ in all good bookstores both bricks and mortar and online!

Beyoncé is LIFE

A third exciting publication has just launched for 2024 - ‘Beyoncé is Life,’ by Kathleen Perricone, features 30+ illustrations (by yours truly) of Beyoncé’s most iconic ensembles throughout her career.
It was an absolute DELIGHT to delve into the archives and revisit so many core-memory sartorial moments – from the 00’s, especially!

This book is one in a series of uniquely illustrated editions, each chronicling the evolution of some of our most beloved pop-culture figures.
I’m truly honoured to be one of the few artists lending their hand to these icons of style!

Stay tuned for perhaps one more book on the horizon…*wink*
