have i told you lately is the first
piece i have created inspired
by london. walking along the
southbank you always see
couples kissing –the location is
just so romantic and they seem
to be lost in the moment. it took
a while to find the perfect bridge
but i think this is it.
a & Bee
PAPER EditioN of 195 | 24” x 16” | fRAmEd £395
A & Bee kind of came out of nowhere. I was sitting in a beer garden on a hot
summer day discussing the plight of bees. Often you see one which appears to be
dead, but is actually just in need of a little help to get it back on track. (You’ll be
happy to know that no bees were harmed in the creation of this artwork.)

a groovy Kind of love
a groovy Kind of love is the sequel
to ‘in the groove’. our hero was just
grooving to the sounds on his own, but
at last he has found the love of his life
and now they are grooving together.
this pink vinyl in a vintage record shop
was an absolute gift and i knew it would
make the perfect setting.

chalK & cheese
PaPer edition of 195 | 24” x 16” | framed £395 dYe SUBLimation edition of 75 | 36” x 24” | framed £995
Chalk & Cheese grew from a
memory of my schooldays. All
those broken pieces of chalk at
the bottom of the board, and if
you were quick you could make
it up there and write something
on there – maybe to your class
sweetheart – a split second
before the teacher walked in.
Incidentally I love using chalk in
my images as it is a great way of
showing scale.
Big love

big love was in the air one day
and i wanted to create a tribute to it
– some kind of homage to the sheer
scale of the thing! this led me to
thinking about the hollywood sign
with its 45 foot high white letters.
as i was mulling the idea over in
my mind i went to the fridge for a
drink and there on the door was my
concept – the fridge magnet’s were
ideal, and the figure shows how big
the love actually is!

you Make your own luck
You Make Your Own Luck came about one day when I caught sight of a penny on
the pavement. Coins are usually dull and tarnished but this one was gleaming
the sunshine, and seemed to be looking up at me from the pavement. It made me
think of the value of money, and this combined with the idea of the lucky penny
crystallized the concept in my mind. – It’s one of those essential life lessons that
sometimes you have to see the value in what is around you and make your own
luck rather than wait for things to happen.
