Murals at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, London

I was recently commissioned to produce two large scale mural works to go on the side of a new purpose built cinema for patients in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by the CW+ Charity. I was asked to create two colourful murals on either side of it that would be uplifting for the patients to see. They feature lots of local landmarks to spend time looking at and are in the shape of animals. The patients and staff at the hospital helped me to come up with ideas for the places to include and which animal shapes to choose. On one side of the cinema there is a mother and baby rhino made up of buildings such as the Natural History Museum and the Albert Hall and on the other side is a leaping fox made up landmarks from Fulham, Earls Court and Battersea. Below are the digital illustrations of the Rhinos and Fox and also the building sketches I made in researching the pieces along with two initial design ideas.

'Never Judge...?' Group Show At Stolenspace.

I'm really pleased to be part of this group show at Stolenspace gallery London. The brief was to create an original artwork to the traditional format and size of a Penguin book for a novel of my choice. I of course chose Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Lost World'. I did a neat little pencil drawing of a dinosaur made up of London's Natural History Museum.



Here's more info on the show, private view and the list of great artists involved -

The age old proverb is easier said than done, when choosing a read who can't be swayed by good cover art
the cover after all has the job of explaining thousands of words in an instant.
StolenSpace in association with Penguin Books plan to celebrate the art of the book cover
with a show entitled ' Never Judge?’
For this exhibition we will be filling the gallery with original book covers exclusively created for this show
by our favourite artists from around the world, there will also by gyclée prints available from some of the pieces
created. The show promises to be a visual feast working in conjunction with Penguin Books and their upcoming
Penguin Essentials project

Meat Market

Another thing I did a while back now was some more illustrations for Russian magazine vokrug Sveta. The last illustration I did for them was of a British pub, which was fine by me as I love pubs. This one was more tricky as it had to be of Smithfield meat market in London. Tricky because - 1. I live in Bristol and 2. I don't eat meat! Errm, I got a friend of mine to take research pics to work from...
