In 2020 George was commissioned by Manchester Histories to create a portrait of Alf Morris, the MP who pioneered the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act (CSDPA). To mark the 50-year anniversary of this landmark legislation, Manchester Histories held an online festival, DigiFest, for which George also created the brand identity and illustrations.
In early 2021 George completed an online placement at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House, as part of Venture Arts’ Cultural Enrichment Programme. He produced a series of portraits of Gaskell family members, as well as a blog which you can read here.
George holds a Foundation Degree in Illustration from Stockport College.

A lot of my work is to do with portraits, mainly actors and actresses. I have done a portrait of William Shakespeare and Emmeline Pankhurst. The research about people is an important factor in my work, the historical context and studying and reading about that person.
