Recent work
New mixedmedia drawings.
New video
This is the latest demo, filmed in the studio.
Studio update
For the last few months I’ve been converting an old garage into a new studio space. This has been a huge task for me as I have no experience of this kind of work and I have been held back due to difficulties sourcing timber. I hope to have the studio completed in a few weeks and it should provide a much needed place to work on larger projects including sculpture.
Postal delivery
Sorry to say that I will no longer be sending any smaller items by postal delivery. The shipping costs have become far too high for items such as books and prints and it's made them impossible to send overseas. I would not expect someone to pay more for post than the item being delivered. UK delivery will available but please contact me first. I will continue to make ebooks available and try to add more downloadable content such as videos, tutorials and templates.
New Demo
Still working on the construction of the new studio space. Had a few delays to cope with. I have started to use it to film some new demo videos including this latest which is a continuation of the metamorphic artwork. 30 canvas panels 6” × 6”
Sorry for the delay
I apologise for the delay in dispatching the orders for the monoprinting booklet, there was a slight mix up at the printers. The Booklets will arrive on monday and all orders will be posted immediately. I will include a print with the booklets to thank you for your patience.
Mono-Printing booklet reprinted
I will have copies of the mono-printing booklet back on the website. I have just sent the order to the printers and I expect delivery to be next week. You will be able to pre-order your copy now from the website shop.
All gone!
The 10 FREE prints have all gone, thanks for your interest in this artwork. I will dispatch the print in the next few days. Heading to Australia, USA, Sweden, France, Germany, Ireland and the UK. The print will be available to buy for a limited time.
FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY (10 copies)
FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY - This Is Not Art
At 3pm today I will have 10 copies of this A4 print to give away. I have been so pleased with the response to the recent demo video and I hope it has helped to show that negative comments should always be treated with the contempt that they deserve. The artwork I produced uses printed words from a comment that I received on one of my demos, I welcome constructive feedback, but insults are unnecessary.
Latest YouTube demo video
Posting a lot more content on the YouTube channel at the moment, trying ways to improve on the quality and responding to viewer requests and comments.
BREXIT CONFUSION
Today was the first time I had to send items abroad since the new changes to exporting goods from the UK (a result of BREXIT ) I have posted many times overseas including USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and all around Europe. Since 21st January all goods exported must now by law have a customs commodity code number, this sounds easy enough but I have had to spend most of today looking for the correct code to apply to one of my mono-printing kits, nothing really covers it, the only artist materials listed are paints and brushes. It is a confusing nightmare. I am so sorry if you are one of my overseas customers awaiting a delivery, I will try to get this resolved as soon as I can. I have contacted HMRC for assistance with this matter. PS : I didn't vote for BREXIT and would love to once again live in a country that was part of Europe.
I have now stopped all postal deliveries until this has been resolved, which I hope will not be too long.
Latest video
I have not filmed any new demo videos for a while due to suffering from a very painful elbow injury. This has shown signs of recovery so I hope to film a new video soon. Sorry for the delay and I hope that the viewers of my YouTube channel will understand. I have experimented with TikTok videos and I will post updates about this development soon.
Mono-Printing kits back in stock.
Sorry for the lack of recent posts and videos but I hope to try and update the website in the new year. I have added the mono-printing kits back in the website shop and this includes the special editions that have the booklet. I have now removed the gallery of your work but this will return once it has been edited.

MISSING
Compilation of photographs that have been added to the PLACE project. I am working on an idea that would incorporate all 100 of the paper houses, this will be changed and edited as I work on a few ideas but I hope it will create a finished artwork that could be displayed in a gallery. Please send your contribution as soon as possible so I can begin to fill the gaps. Thanks to all those who have submitted your photographs, I really appreciate your interest and commitment to this project.
NEW MAP
After GOOGLE removed all of my project photographs (including FLEET from 2017) from the map for no reason I have found a suitable alternative. This interactive map will now contain many of the photographs that are submitted for the PLACE art project. I will try to update this as often as possible. This map has NO connection with GOOGLE.
PLACE
Thanks to everyone who added their names to the list of contributors, this is the full list of 100. I will send emails to confirm and make sure that I have the correct postal address. I'm sorry if you missed out but unfortunately I had to limit the number. The project really has reached around the world and I look forward to dispatching the houses beginning on the 1st of August. All the little houses are numbered and the number next to your name will be the house that is posted to you.
New Project
I'm working on a new collaborative art project for this summer. Following on from the FLEET project of 2017, the PLACE artwork will encourage people to take part and submit their own contributions. I will announce further information and details of how to take part as the project develops.
