Working on a new series of paintings for this summer. Usually show the final work, but will try show more sneak peaks of the bones/framework of paintings before the skin comes on in the form of acrylics and anything else I can put on it. These are sections of one of four pieces I am working on at the moment.

2012 > new mural work in progress

Something I am working on at the moment. The images are a bit raw, but so is the work and I feel it provides an interesting sneak peak of what is to come. The whole mural is freestyle with no preparatory sketches

Was asked to design a tattoo based on Afro Samurai. Fun project, allows me to get my ‘manga’ style on, it has been a while. Finished clean piece soon to follow, and if and when the tattoo gets done, will post the picture

portrait commission

Something I was asked to do a while back, but just managed to get around finishing it. Fun project plus client was happy with end result. Will print it in A1 0r A2 size as it works better in large scale.

peko peko sign

Recently did this sign for Peko Peko Japanese Kitchen, who sell amazing Japanese food in various markets in London. Has been a while since I painted any form of signage and enjoyed the process. I also added my touch to the original logo by tweaking the colour’s to make the sign more vibrant. See more on Peko Peko and where to find them via the links below, and have some food as well when you find them.

Been collaborating with GTS of Ifreecans Collective on a few postcard and print collections, the first set is a work in progress and features GTS cityscapes populated by my characters. Part two of the series is Rite Of Passage. GTS did the character designs, I edited, cleaned and coloured them. Coming soon as prints and postcards.
