He works with a large range of national, and international clients, including the Guardian, Paperchase, the Discovery Channel, and The BBC.

It was very interesting to hear his take on the world of the editorial sector, and he gave a lot of information on how he entered the field, as well as what a lot of editorial companies look at, when it comes to their illustrations.

He told the audience that very often, advertising and editorial agencies that are looking for illustrations to go alongside their articles, choose simplistic, but colourful designs.
Sean's works is a good example of this style, which can be seen in many different editorials today.

As well as producing work for the editorial sectors, he creates a lot of designs that go onto be featured on cards, such as the one above.

Over the course of the lecture talk, he showed a vast amount of work, and it was very interesting to see a successful illustrator, and how he works in the industry.
