A couple of weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to spend 24 hours visiting @chanelofficial ’s Paris offices and @le19m ’s workshops including the amazing ateliers @massaro_paris , @maison_lemarie , @lesage and @ateliermontex !
During the visit I got the chance to see my Manchester map being worked on before it was shipped to @victoriabaths for the Manchester Modern exhibition! This was a really surreal experience and it was so educational to see how the artisans worked there.
As part of of our tour we also got to see inside Coco Chanel’s private apartment which was a real privilege.
I had also had an amazing time meeting and spending the day with @sissaylemn and @sarahjoy.ford whose stunning work was also part of the Manchester Modern exhibition!
I was recently commissioned by @thecooplive to create some bespoke Bratchester doodle boots that were gifted to @charli_xcx before her gig at their venue last night!
I doodled on the boots using brat green Posca pens and I added references to her songs and history as well as a few Manchester landmarks!
I was really pleased with how these turned out and I’ve been really excited to share them with you all 🙌
The style of these two! I mean, if the incredible studio setting of @fivefourstudios wasn't enough, Kerry and David had @flower_lounge dec it to the nines! Walking into the main room to see the hanging rig was literally jaw dropping for everyone. I'm so honoured to have been chosen to document these moments for this awesome pair!
Special thanks to Kate from @floveevents for keeping the vibes in flow.

A snap of me with the mini Bury doodle map mural that I finished a month or so ago at St Marie’s RC Primary School! I loved how this worked painting a mural directly onto the wall but within the frame that was already mounted on there 👌
Let me know what you think to it!
A lil video showing some of the detail on the doodle mural I created at @planitie ’s Altrincham offices a few weeks back! This mural focused on the companies studios and projects they have worked on in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and London!

A snap of a Manchester design I created last year for @thecooplive , this piece was then printed onto a coffee cart and placed in the backstage area of their arena!
I always enjoy seeing the different places my artwork ends up and this was a pretty unique commission for me!
I’ve once again taken my pens, laptop and sketchbooks and gone to work from Lisbon for a few weeks!
I’ll mainly be working on projects that can be printed digitally as murals as well some smaller projects that I have a backlog of! If you are Lisbon based and are interested in any artwork though feel free to get in touch! 🇵🇹
A few pictures of the Horwich doodle map mural that I finished at @beaconprimaryschool yesterday!
This was my first time drawing Horwich and although one or two landmarks were familiar it was nice to have lots of new things to draw.
We created this mural with a splash effect in the middle of the wall as well rather than covering the full thing!

A picture I’ve not shared before of the Manchester music doodle map design that I created backstage at @thecooplive last year in their artist green room!
This piece featured music venues big and small all over the city as well as Manchester artists and bands!
It’s always fun seeing pictures or footage of artists in front of this mural pre show!
A snap of me looking very happy with one half of the mural that I finished at @conclubrestaurant in Altrincham last week!
One half of this mural covered Altrincham, Timperley and Sale and this side covered Dunham, Hale and Bowdon!
Let me know what you think to it!
