Boo!!!!

Spooky Times!!! Halloween is here again and I thought as always I would be a big kid and join in. This year I have chosen to design and carve a pumpkin with my logo on it :) Here is the progress and the final design. Be safe and have a haunted time.....

Shopping bag

Having taken a stroll into Derby town, I managed to come back with some random mix of buys. I also came across some inspiring finds. I found a shop called Design 44 based on Sadlers Gate which has been set up to showcase local artists and design makers work displayed in a vintage and eclectic surrounding. Check it out! Anyhow here are my random buys of the day :)

It's raining...It's pouring

Today feels like wellies and umbrella weather. So rather than venturing outside, I have decided to stay in and get creative. So many ideas but what to do first??? 

Maybe I will run a little competition for starters :) Anyone fancy taking part then visit my facebook page or twitter :)

Out of this World LP Art

I have been getting some inspiration for some new art and have started working on some new LP art work. The latest work is based on the song/album titles of the LP's. I have taken some photo's of the new work for you to have a glance at. The album's are framed and for sale.

If you would like to get your hands on one of these album's get in touch or if you would like your own personalized album for yourself or as a gift idea get in touch at :

Inspiration in Brighton

I went down to Brighton this summer to get some inspiration for new designs, illustrations and art. With the sea, pebbles and seagulls, I managed to get some inspiring ideas along the way. I will be back in the studio and working on new work very shortly. I will keep you posted. For now here are some cool pictures I took whilst down by the seaside :)

Summer is here

Finally the Summer is here. Hip hip hooray the sun is out for us all to enjoy. Time to get inspired by ice cream, flowers blooming and birds singing in song. Spending a day in the garden getting some ideas together for my upcoming designs and prints. Could I resist a little sunbathing at the same time :)

Let it be Summer

Whilst listening to the rain today, I started an illustration piece for a Zine's Spring/Summer edition. I thought I would be a bit fruity and make humor of the recent weather situation. Here is what I make from pen and watercolour :)
