A little monoprint I've done of a little quote I like

Forget the bikini; let’s take a paintbrush to the beach

On Mayday, which happened to be my birthday, some of the Paper Jukebox team and I got creative in a sandy environment. Four boards, six artists, we created images based on a surf/beach theme for Boscombe’s SURFX event. This is the video of our artwork in production. Its always great to work with other people, it keeps you focused on a joint goal. Arthur and me went with an expressive underwater scene using paints and pens.

A sneak peek...

... what could be beyond the long grass?.. these are prints based on music by Parov Stelar. His song The Mojo Radio Gang has provided inspiration throughout this project. The prints are a reflection of the moods I feel and the things I associate with the sounds. More of these prints are going to appear very soon on my website. 

A frog in a boat

I've been busy, busy creating prints. Think organic forms, sunlight and lazy days. Nature infused by magic. Ethereal. There isn't actually a frog in a boat in this photo, but thats a taster or what's to come...

James and the GIANT peach

The epic childhood story of a charming youngster called James and this overly large Peach he stumbles upon will be celebrating its seventieth anniversary soon. So as a great appreciator of such adventures I took to the task of redesigning the book cover for Penguins Design Awards. I had been working on this in November, but have revisited it to make changes. This is the design I have entered. Fingers crossed. 

Dreambox Exhibition and Live Art

My illustration of the male with face paint was used in an exhibition at The Lighthouse in Poole, based on dreams. 

The chicken rocking the zebra mohawk was a collaborative piece I created with Annette Johns, fellow classmate and part of our Paper Jukebox collective. The large board was transformed in front of the eyes of fellow attendees of the event 'Off with their Heads'. An event with an Alice in Wonderland theme the collective took four stark white boards and made each one a suite from a pack of cards, interpreting this in a number of ways.
