Essex born Londoner and artist.
My work is inspired by a number of different factors: found pieces from magazines & cuttings, graffiti, pop art, bold colours, plays on words, and a haphazard style.

Ongoing Core Sway clothing art
Since early 2022, I've been experimenting with direct to garment artwork using fabric pens to create one-off, bespoke and original pieces hand drawn onto the clothes and shoes. Take a look at some examples and in the gallery.
August 2023
Completed my first new canvas work in over a year. Another mixed media piece entitled 'You4Rhea', this was produced using spray paint, paint pens, acrylic, recycled plastic bags, newspaper and magazine clippings, a Polaroid photo and stickers. Here's a close-up detail shot, please take a look in the Gallery section to see it in full.
October 2022
My latest mixed media artwork entitled 'It's Open Season' is complete. Aside from the paint, all of the materials used are recycled and re-used, including newspaper clippings, 2 plastic record shop bags, magazine clippings and small patches of fabric material. Here's a detail from it, full image can be seen in the Gallery section.
