A well oiled mind

This was commissioned by The Guardian, they wanted a visual story in response to the theme of oil. I worked with the editor to come up with this piece with the gloomy and frightening concept of oil subjugating our lives. Here is full piece for The Guardian.

Hello Sausage! New Screenprint!

Happy New Year all! This is a rather be-lated blog posting - apologies, it's been rather busy at this end.

I've been doing some work with Jealous (Jealous Gallery and Print Studio) they are screenprinting a new edition of Hello Sausage! Last year they printed Hello Sausage! in red as a limited edition, I'm very impressed with the quality of their workmanship, they printed the work beautifully. The prints sold out before I had a chance to put them up here.

Now Jealous are making a new larger edition of the print in yellow - whoop whoop!

The size is 56 x 65 cm onto 300 gsm somerset satin cotton mould paper. Limited edition of 75.

Price £125 unframed.

Jealous will have a stand at The London Art Fair this January 19-23 at the Business Design Centre Upper Street Islington. It will also be on available from their gallery, their address is 27, Park Road, N8 8TE, Crouch End. London. If you're interested in getting your mits on one of these prints do get in touch.

Ta ta for now x

Happiness Exhibition

Hello peeps,

I'm taking part in an exhibition of artists from 'Happiness at Work Studios', it will be at The Print House Gallery in Dalston from Friday 29th October to Sunday 15th of November. I'll be showing a painting from a series of works based on theme tunes from Australian soaps of the 70's 80's.

I'm particularly excited about the show because 'Happiness at Work' was a dream of mine way back in the early noughties with the idea of having a studio where freelancers who usually work from home can work under the same roof and be a community. The idea was to have a range of creatives who would have opportunities to exhibit their work. I set up the studios with Stephen Smart in 2003 at The Turk's Head (formerly a pub now a cafe) in Wapping. The studios are now run by Jon Aldenton of The Environment Trust. This will be Happiness's second show. Artists include Sarah Horne, Catell Ronca, Steve Smith, Harriet Russell, Sandra Howgate and photographer John Tarby.

Happiness at Work is now planning to spread it;s wings and establish other studios where the opportunity arises and has set up in the Granton Lighthouse in Edinburgh with a local partner.

Speak, Lord, your servant is listening...
