Due to popular demand (I hope) I have created a little shop, where you can buy limited edition, signed and numbered prints on fancy pants 100% cotton paper, available in two conveniently standard sizes! Huzza!

Personalised London crafting
Last Christmas I made two of these London Routemaster Pillows for my nephews, and this summer I made another two for nephew Levi & niece Madilym who were visiting from Canada. I’m not sure they know what a London buss looks like yet, but they liked them anyways!
The buss is pretty big, maybe 50x50cm or more, and it has the name on there obv, the number is the year the kids were born, and London transport is replaced with the family name.
It was lots of fun to make them, but it also took a looong time! I’m working up the courage to start another two or three.
I also made individual London tube signs for the kids, and i did some gender stereotyping by making the girls pink. With Maddy being Canadian, she does not know what the symbol is yet, so i figured she might like it better if it was pink, her favourite colour.
Share & Shame
Please share, retweet & uproar. This is not cool!

NEW work
For this years Metric Collective Pop Up shop on Columbia Road I created two brand new digital prints.
AND HERE THEY ARE!:
I have named them Untitled Portal Blue & Untitled Portal Red – very creative, i know.
Both have a fish scale background, Red Snapper and Mackerel if you are interested. The symmetry is more complex then my pervious and contains of multiple layers.
Usually my circular print like this are more random, I never start out thinking what would be the centre and how it might look after i have mirrored it… this time however i had a plan. I wanted something that would look like a portal or a sphere when seen from afar, something a little more 3 dimensional. I went from dark to light, not just in colour but also in subject matter… slugs, bugs and worms in the dark, and flowers and butterflies in the light. I might revers these one day, use some lovely white slugs etc.
Printed them on 20×30″, on lovely velvety photorag. It makes the backs look stunning.
Might post some details in the future.
Metric is over for another year
So our 2 months on columbia rd is over and here is a picture of a man with a beard looking at one of my prints.
