I've put some works up on Society 6 for sale, I'm loving the pillow cases.
Pillows, in general, are something I am fond of. They are pretty cool.

A couple of versions of the same idea done for a Spanish magazine. Funny how small things change the whole picture.

The Little Girl And The Acrylics

I recently applied for something where I was asked to paint from a photograph picked by the company depending on the category I chose. I chose "portrait" and they sent me a photo of a little girl.

I decided to use acrylics and Fabriano paper. God, I missed my little acrylics, I'll make sure we'll spend more time together.

Anyway, I had a great time painting it and the application was a success so YAY!

Diesel Island - Amazing Cardboard Forest

http://vimeo.com/22305167

This is a video made by the lovely Ana Cossermeli (http://miscelana.net/) whilst we were working on a pretty impressive cardboard forest with Åsa Wikman, Anna Baskakova, Atika Bennamane, Becki Hiscocks.

The project was made for the Diesel Island campaign and it was up on some of their central London shop windows.

You Are Here

I was asked to paint a XVI century map of Southwark on a 3mx1m wooden board, for the Clink Prison Museum (http://www.clink.co.uk/)

I love a good old map, they hide such visual treats. Thick lines, no perspective, symbolic imagery, fish which are bigger than man who are bigger than houses.

Give me a copy of an original map, a couple of XL boards, a lot of paint and pens, and you can throw me in the clink any day!
