Welcome To My Client Portfolio!
Here is where you can find examples of commissions I’ve undertaken for clients.
They represent different styles, concepts and scope of work but for every commission I’ve worked closely with the client to create something that fits within their means and timeline.
“Reading With A Rapper”
Skwaam has led a new campaign from Texas-based organisation ‘Reading With A Rapper’- focussed on raising literacy rates across the States for all ages, with a great focus on learning based initiatives in schools nationwide.
The mission of the ‘Reading With A Rapper’ campaign has been ongoing for a while, through various events and music releases via their music label “Educational Entertainment”. With a fresh look heading into 2025, Skwaam was tasked to create a short story spread across 4 videos; telling the tale of how unity and knowledge can help overcome a huge threat.
Featuring the music of Educational Entertainment (EdEnt)’s own artist- BuddieRoe, who has worked alongside cultural legends such as Bun B. Within the story- we see the journey of interdimensional life form “RWAR” hanging with the locals in Houston until they find themsleves in a dangerous asteroid shower, RWAR, along with BuddieRoe and label-mate Yobi will have to work against the clock to find a solution to the impending chaos, with the help of the people of Houston.

Far From The Norm.
‘Can’t Kill Us All’
I was commissioned by London based Dance Organisation ‘Far From The Norm’ to create visual artwork to accompany their BBC funded short film ‘Can’t Kill Us All’; a visual representation of the pains of surviving a pandemic and being Black in Britain, the artwork was to show the importance of holding onto the powers of your inner child and how hardships can be rescued by things like a creative outlet.
Off the back of this I held a workshop explaining the thought process of the piece, and shared a look into my creative process with members of Far From The Norm and other parts of their community. The project and artwork were recently featured in Google Arts’ Black History Month section.
‘Thug-ocracy’
The second project I worked on a piece entitled ‘Thug-ocracy’ another visual accompaniment for a project highlighting the lack care shown to the youth by British politicians, highlighting the irony in accusing younger generations of violence when they perpetuate greed, violence and questionable morals.
‘BLKDOG’
Latest project for Far From The Norm. Their award winning show BLKDOG was touring the UK and as part of their promotional run I was commissioned to illustrate the poses and thoughts of some of their very talented dancers.
Jammer / Boy Better Know
A collaboration with founding member of the Grime scene’s most treasured collective Boy Better Know; Jammer’s Studio Album ‘Natural Selection’.
In 2020 I was commissioned by Boy Better Know’s Jammer to create the artwork for his newest studio album ‘Natural Selection’. Along with the front and back cover of the physical albums I created various track arts which were used in promotional campaigns and on the official merchandise.
