About Me

Portfolio

As a multidisciplinary artist I’ve produced pieces in various mediums over the years. These days I mainly work in watercolour and ink, but I’m skilled at drawing, bookbinding, embroidery, or a combination of any or all! I hope you enjoy browsing, and if you’re interested in commissioning something then please do get in touch.

It's twenty years since one of my favourite novels was published, and I felt moved to create a painting inspired by it. I'm making this available as a limited edition run of twenty signed, unframed, A4 giclée prints. They're not available yet (still working with a local printing company to sort them out as the colour is tricky to match). If you'd like to put your name down for one then please let me know here or send a DM. Price will be £50 each including UK postage.  #theglorious25thofmay #terrypratchett #lilac #nightwatch #vimes #howdotheyriseup #seehowtheyriseup #discworld #treaclemineroad #painting #watercolour #watercolor #limitededitionprint #fanart #pterry  #truthjusticefreedomreasonablypricedloveandahardboiledegg #pterry #samvimes #thepeoplesrepublicoftreaclemineroad

" 'That's a nice song,' said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time... It's an old soldiers' song,' he said... As I recall, they used to sing it after battles,’ he said. 'I've seen old men cry when they sing it,’ he added.  'Why? It sounds cheerful.'  They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will."  #theglorious25thofmay #terrypratchett #lilac #nightwatch #vimes #howdotheyriseup #seehowtheyriseup #discworld #truthjusticefreedomreasonablypricedloveandahardboiledegg #pterry #samvimes #thepeoplesrepublicoftreaclemineroad

White roses in full bloom, they'll be followed in a few weeks by tiny red ones. The rain has walloped them but they're still looking glorious, and the petrichor is just wonderful. #petrichor #thesmellafterrain #roses #garden #smallgarden #homeoffice #workfromhome #amazingspaces #london

I like a challenge, so I made the most of my four sheets of newspaper and combined them with orange, green, and purple bookcloth to try and evoke a Batman-y kind of feel/palette. I created a cut-out based on the Gotham Gazette logo, and used that to help stretch my newspaper a little further as I only needed to have a wee bit behind it! Client was super happy with the results. Can we take a moment here to appreciate the special Batman scalpel handle I acquired? It was one of a limited number designed and 3D printed by the design department on the film, and my client let me have the one they gave him 😁👌 #thebatman #commission #bookbinding #batman #gotham #arkham

A look at the materials I used for a commission back in 2020. My client obtained a couple of the newspapers used as props in the new Batman film and asked if I could make twenty notebooks...which proved a little challenging given the newspapers were props, so only the front and back pages were printed (all the pages in the middle were blank). Still, I like a challenge so I put my thinking cap on... #bookbinding #thebatman #batman #gotham

Is there a more picturesque spot in W10 right now? I think not. Feeling (and looking) like the cat that got the cream. #garden #smallgarden #amazingspaces #hammock #naptime
