Secret 7” 2025 sleeve reveal...
Black kites and a desire for peace inspired this sleeve I created for ‘Black Rain’ by Keane. Proud to say it was auctioned for a tidy sum as part of an incredible overall total of over £230,000 for @warchilduk

A first creative foray into a Iifelong passion, I've contributed some illustrations to the second issue of new football magazine NINE. Digitally collaged from old football annuals, the images illuminate a poignant piece about the misfortunes of a Spurs fan hooked on the beautiful game after Italia ’90.
If you’re a writer, artist or illustrator who’d be interested in contributing to a future issue then get in touch @ninemag23 – issue 2 will be available from the NINE website in the coming weeks.

The revival of a personal project twenty years in the making, ‘Copies’ continues to occupy a space in my head that’s fascinated by turning the mundane into something intriguing, abstract and ultimately fun. Drawings and collage from the original piece have been digitally worked over and a new narrative punctuates the artwork in the form of oddly stilted words and phrases.
These are excerpts from a continuing exploration of an evolving piece with a view to a printed edition of ‘Copies 2.0’ in 2025.

I’m available for freelance assignments and creative commissions at the moment so I’ve had some time to polish up some recent work that hasn’t been shared yet.
Earlier in the year the brilliant team at Art Club teamed up with Neighbourhood Brew Co. to launch a limited edition IPA.
After announcing an open call for names and label designs, this was my winning entry. I named it Creative Courage as a nod to the variation on Dutch courage that we sometimes need to make a new piece of art or design – or for those attending some of the classes at Art Club, their first piece.
The first batch of Creative Courage was a strictly limited run but it’s started to inspire some concepts for prints and merchandise if it comes back again in the future.
Proud of this one not least because having ‘creative courage’ has since become a bit of an internal mantra for me now when approaching new business and new projects.

Based on a graphic ‘framework’ pattern that builds or reduces according to context, these motifs make space for messaging and content to be positioned clearly at all times. The adaptable nature of the brand assets reinforce the ethos of a fast-moving yet focused business operation equipped with expert knowledge and insight.
