Bristol Explorer Day

We picked Bristol as our first explorer day of 2024! I was accompanied by my friend and fellow Winchester creative Jez Long (AKA SpookyJelly) who helped me capture some reference shots as we wandered. The weather was a little gloomy at times, but ...

Warren & Son Paper Bag

One of the lovely, sometimes unseen, characteristics of Winchester is the classic shop signs in the city centre. One of my favourite examples is situated at the top of the High Street. It belongs to Warren & Son and it happens to be one of the ...

Afternoon Tea for Yarty

A simple commercial artwork made for the food & drink industry. With March and the turn of the season fast approaching I was given this Mother Day brief by David and Jayne over at Yarty. I was able to create a hand drawn piece, featuring ...

Standing at The Sky’s Edge @ The Gillian Lynne Theatre

If you've seen any of my artworks before, you'll know just how much I enjoy my building studies. Architecture is a passion, or rather a fascination, as well a focus for many professional projects. But if you were to join me in the studio one ...

Back in the Groove

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a sluggish start to 2024 for us. Lots of tricky mornings getting the kids to school during the cold weather. Plenty of admin and jobs to do around the house. It can feel impossible to really get going with ...

Greenwich Park in the Snow

Greenwich Park is one of the eight Royal Parks in London. Here’s my line work for a new illustration I’m working on, featuring the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. This one is a personal project that I hope will make a nice addition to my ...

Alresford Christmas Tree

Our home (and my studio) sits on the Old Alresford Road that runs from Winchester to... well, Alresford! Alresford is a lovely market town, part of the wider Winchester district within Hampshire, but with its own very distinct identity. I've always ...

Constructing City Compositions

Constructing City Compositions

A torturous title 😆. It can be difficult to get across just how much preparation and construction goes into an artwork. Especially the bigger canvas compositions, which can be quite the jigsaw puzzle! I like to think that it’s one of the ...
