I completed a piece of work for leading US aircraft manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft & their design & marketing company Zero Collective. The work was to be featured as their front page on their new lifestyle magazine 'Journey'. I was also asked to do 4 small portraits of the contributors that would be featured on their respective pages.

February 2011
A new series of works based on Lego figures was shown in Gallerina. Like the paintings of bottle caps, the Lego figures are a simple way to explore colour, form and design. The familiarity of the imagery allows me to almost explode the image while still retaining it, something that I find is only possible with easily recognisable objects.

I have begun a new series of works on paper. Which I'm finding blurs the line between the original source material and my interpretation. Some examples can be found here Click Here

My Book Ex Post Facto has been delayed until New Year (I'm a perfectionist!)

Filming has begun for a short documentry for Gallerina which will be available on DVD and will possibly be sold with a very limited edition print of the painting which is included in filming.

Received date & information for the BBC show Imagine.

Imagine…Own Art

10.35pm, 1st December, BBC 1

There’s a new breed of art collector on the block. No longer do you need to be fabulously wealthy to afford a Blake, a Banksy or a Hockney over your fireplace. Imagine meets a variety of people who are part of a small revolution in the art world. A factory worker, a pig farmer and a policeman are just some of those whose lives have been changed by an Arts Council scheme called ‘Own Art’ which has enabled them to take out an interest free loan to buy contemporary artwork.

Producer/Director: Fran Landsman
Executive Producer: Janet Lee
Series Editor: Alan Yentob
