Here are some stills from the making of the video for True Tigers Remiz of Ed Sheerans new single - You Need Me I Don't Need You. Myself and Lou Blackshaw made Ed a nice big paper ghetto blaster - which he loved and took home with him. Made me smile!

Here is my entry for this years Camelot Art Competition. It's a nice looking castle that I had loads of fun designing and making from different types of paper and card. I wish I could fit through that red door. I also hope I win the competition - first prize is a years free rent !!

Photoshoot for Huxley

2011-07-28T09:40:00.000-07:00

I was asked to make bright and colourful props for a photoshoot for Huxley Clothing. They are all about bringing colour back to Britain, so that day I did just that by making huge paper colouring pencils and paint pots full of paper paint.

Centre Space Exhibition

2010-11-08T07:35:00.000-08:00

I was part of a group exhibition in Centre Space Gallery in Bristol. I did a series of collages based on a strange and quite crude love poem written by a friend 10 years ago. I found it in my e-mail inbox and couldn't believe my luck, it is brilliant.
I also included 2 A1 compositions of my sketchbook pages.
The other artists in the show were Jen Cardno, Bisi Wakeham and Emma Levey.

AMV Christmas Window Display

2010-07-08T15:33:00.000-07:00

I worked with Hattie Newman and Lou Blackshaw to create this Christmas Window display for AMV BBDO ad agency in Marylebone.
We made a huge magical castle and had a working toy train running around the base with a glittering AMV logo on the side. There were 10 paper houses running up either side of the window and we lit them all with dolls house lights so they looked beautiful at night. Each house represented a different department of AMV. Also to complete the window decoration we had vinyl lettering and a night sky.

Aswell as the window, we decorated a 7 foot Christmas tree with over 400 gingerbread men which were labelled with everyone who works at AMV's names. We also made some tiny paper houses for the tree too. It looked amazing!

Somerset Art Weeks @ Muchelney Forge

I took part in the Somerset Arts Weeks at Muchelney Forge for two weeks. I was working in blacksmith Nick Ostroumoffs workshop alongside other craftsmen such as a silversmith, a potter and a yert maker. It was an absolutely beautiful studio to work in and I was very happy there.
