The show must go on...

Last night was the private view for 'On Essence'. There was a great turn out - thanks peeps!

I'm really pleased with the way the works turned out, it's the first time I've got my work professionally printed and you know what, I'm gonna do more! One thing I need to work on is paper curling, grrrr. Maybe frames next time.

One conversational point was about whether I should start drawing straight onto the letters. There are many advantages to this - actually having an original being one of them. I'm still slightly scared to go all the way though. I'd be forever changing something that already has such a history, a depth. Am I good enough?...

I'm on Etsy!

211 Walworth Road

From the 7th-10th October I will be taking part in a group show at the Rag Factory, off Brick Lane, London. I've been making work for a couple of weeks now, eventually using some of the imagery I found from Portobello.

211 Walworth Road is a series of prints based on past and current. I have layered old letterheads and receipts from the 1930's and 40's with illustrations of current day Walworth Road. I have used the addresses from the receipts and drawn what is now in its place. This is

my way of stoking memories.

Exhibition....22nd May 2010

Hey guys, I have some work in an exhibition to celebrate the anniversary of Rossetti and Siddal's wedding at St Clements Church, Hastings. I have been interested in the Pre-Raphaelites since school so really wanted to create something to commemorate the event. The piece is slightly different form my normal work but there is still a big focus on line. I wanted to capture the romantic nature of the period as well as the patterns seen more in William Morris' work. The piece includes figures, something I'm always pretty scared of attempting!!

The Private View is on Saturday 22nd May, I'll put some pictures on photo's up after.
