Up for the Craic!





Window art is not just for Christmas!

The Coopers Arms are really making the most of advertising St. Patricks day festivities to a busy high street and road junction.

A customer in the bar commented, before it was coloured up. " Have you ever seen a Leprechaun mate? It looks more like a Smurf! ". " Same difference. " I said, happy in the knowledge that he'd already recognised it as a Leprechaun!

I have included a shot from inside the pub today, as it gives you an idea of how painted windows look from the inside. I work up a layout externally, then paint the image 'backwards' inside. Next up St. Georges day!

Increasing the scale at Chafford!



Can you tell what it is yet?

This 'Emperor' dragonfly was started yesterday. Having taken a day to position and draw. I put down my base coat, and began to colour it up today... It's going to be huge this.

Things were made a little easier with the discovery of a taller ladder at the centre. It's still a little awkward trying to work so close to the wall without being able to step back and take a look. So far so good.

Watch this space to track it's progression!

Forever blowing bubbles!



Finished today! This characature for a dedicated young West Ham fans bedroom. Really happy with the final result. Along with the club badge on an adjoining wall, this cartoon really adds a 'personal' touch to all things Claret & Blue...

The main wall at the end of Chafford Gorges visitor centre is now complete. I continue to work at the site, having been asked to paint more wildlife in other areas of the building. This ' Comma ' butterfly, wasp and sparrowhawk were a recent addition...

The festival season cometh!


Had an appointment with the Monsterbox crew today. As the festival season is not that far away, my creative input was required to give this truly awesome bus a bit of a 'sparkle'. I couldn't believe how clean it looked. Not that much required to bring it back to life...

Bad news for the snow, man...


After the recent snow and watching the slow 'death' of our snowman. I felt compelled to create this little flyer/poster image. The photo is exactly how the snowman naturally melted, I could not of arranged his watery body any better if I tried! It is almost as though there was some 'agony' felt as he slipped away...

What's after Christmas?


Valentines day! Nice to be back at the Elk Bar, Fulham for some more blackboard work.

Is looking likely, that I'll be working on some boards for a new bar in Bristol!
