Hand-painted window art for @patagoniamanchester that I did in June for their Save The Oceans campaign. This might be my favourite project to date. An important cause, a great company to work with and also a chance to try my hand at something new. I was one of 10 artists asked to create and install artwork for the European launch of the campaign across multiple cities and as I’ve been wanting to tackle window art and murals for some time I jumped at the opportunity. Working by hand on-site was an absolute buzz of the highest magnitude, despite the best efforts of the heat-wave we had in mid June 🥵 and left me with a desire to do a lot more of this sort of work.
This was the first time I’d ever attempted this kind of job and when I downed tools on it I felt I’d done my best. I was happy enough with that but I was buzzing much much harder when I got an email from Patagonia saying they liked it so much they wanted to use it for the US side of the campaign too! So it’s now adorning the windows of multiple North American stores in cities like New York, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, San Fransisco, Boston, Dallas, Nashville and more… (I’ll post some examples separately). It’s the coolest thing that’s happened to me professionally I think.
Huge thanks to everyone at @patagonia and at the Manchester store for being such great company while I beavered and boiled away in the windows, especially @lukejbroster and @robbeany for the opportunity.

What a week it’s been.
@benlamb has brought new life to our Enviro window, shining a light on @moorsforthefuture and everything they stand for.
This marks the start of a summer of conversation about protecting, preserving, and celebrating the wild spaces right on our doorstep.
The talent and creativity in Ben’s work has genuinely blown us away.
Protect our peaks.
Past fires burned the moors. Present action preserves them.
