The Elephant Parade

Exciting news! I submitted a design for this years Elephant Parade and it's been selected as one of the 40 or so artists taking part. I'll soon be starting to paint the real thing in a studio near Victoria station. (Onto a life sized model of a baby elephant). This time round the elephants are going to be on display not just in London but to towns and cities all over the UK for the next 12 months! Once again they will be sold to raise money for the Asian elephant.

Mail Me Art

I was very happy to be selected as one of this years Mail me Art project artists (and also rather nervous as I had to pop my collage in the post and hope it didn’t disintergrate). Happily it arrived virtually unscathed and will be part of an exhibition in central London and art book. My design celebrates spring and the countryside and the joy of receiving a letter (from a bird!).

Monster Mash Ups and Business Boom

Yesterday I was lucky enough to have my work featured on 2 different sites. The first is Business Boom, which features new work of artists, fashion designers, bands and designers and has run a feature on my lots of my work.

The second is Monster Mash Ups a blog run by Asha Pearse. Artists/ illustrators are invited to play a game of consequences (in pictures) and the end results are some eccentric looking monsters (which you can download and colour in!)

Website Illustration for Rory More

I recently finished a homepage illustration for vintage electronic organist Rory More. The brief was to create a psychedelic looking montage of lots of different elements to give the viewer an idea of his sound (hence the tropical/ 60′s girls, parrot and street scene).

New Editorial Illustration

Here's a new editorial illustration I completed just before Christmas for Regents College Alumni magazine Inner Circle. The article focused on the pro's and con's of doing business in Africa and I wanted to focus on the positive and less well known aspects (such as the space program).

Cat Christmas Cards!

I've recently designed 2 adorable cat Christmas cards. Both were created as paper, wool and button collages and are now on sale in my Not on the High Street shop and at craft fairs. My next is in Brockley's annual Christmas Market on the 15th December from midday till 6pm.

South East London Art Exhibitions!

Last week I put up an exhibition of my artwork is on the walls of the the Palmerston, a pub/ dining room in East Dulwich (which serves yummy looking food!). On my way home I popped into Hop Scotch Cafe in Honor Oak Park, (for pumpkin soup), which also has a display of a few of my pieces. All pieces are for sale from the venues or from me. Unframed mini prints available from £20 (+5 P&P).
