Portraits

I've recently finished up a couple of portraits of friends and fellow Sheffield illustrators, Lord Bunn and George Law

And as such, I've decided to open up my life to custom portraits. So if you'd like one for yourself or for a friend,

feel free to get in touch and we'll make it happen!

DIY summer and updates

I've been neglecting the blog of late, so here's a long awaited update on some of the things I've been up to.

Firstly, if you nip to this link you can watch me and some fellow Sheffield creative types working on the DIY summer project at Site Gallery (namely The Old Sweet Shop, TeaBag Designs, Theo Simpson, Betty Thread, Sheffield Publicity Department & the installation of Screenadelica's gig poster exhibition).

After creating the logo and event info above, I've been working in the gallery on and off for two weeks painting on the main gallery wall and windows, mapping the various workshops and goings on throughout the project. After a week of working alongside a great selection of Zines from Rotherham Zine Library, I also had a chance to try out a bit of stencil screen printing with the boys of Crow & Dunnage which was surprisingly successful, and housed a pop up shop in the gallery.

I was also fortunate enough on my walk home from the gallery to stumble upon a bit of collaborative street art in progress by Ghost Patrol, Kid Acne, Ema, Pleghm and Barber Filth.

Amongst this, I've also been finishing up a project painting onto 10 1930s lampposts (that I'm sure will show up here soon), and creating a few illustrations for Sheffield's S1 Magazine. & hopefully lots more to come soon. Phew...

Lemuria

I've had a number of little 'goals' set for myself this year. Some of these have been met, some not so much.

One that I didn't think of, was to have someone get my work tattooed onto themselves permanently. So I've been

equally surprised and excited about a few people contacting me about making this happen.

I couldn't be happier to say that the most recent of which has been by 2/3 of the band Lemuria, who got matching

wagtail tattoos after seeing my work on a flyer for their show in Manchester. & yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing them in and on the flesh.

Uppercase

Currently very happy to say that I have a couple of drawings in the latest issue of Uppercase magazine

for a section devoted to mottos & motivation.
