1st December - Peach Properties commission

I was lucky enough to be commissioned by Peach Properties (an Estate Agents in Shoreditch on Bethnal Green Road) to paint the exterior of their building with some new artwork. Over the course of 4 fun filled freezing Novermber days I completed the work. Each piece is 3.4mtrs in height and the design spans the whole building. Here are some select photos of the finished work together with some in progress shots.....

New work - June 2009

For a while now I have wanted to get back to my traditional art roots, I am working on a new body of work that leans further towards this. It's a natural progression from my stencil work as opposed to a complete restart and change of style, I am still heavily interested in stencil art as a medium and will be working to combine stencil and freehand in some future pieces. For the time being I am having a lot of fun, painting everyday, creating new work based around the people I know and love, friends and family. The people I see everyday who enrich my life and interest me. Thank you for all the support I have had so far and all the kind feedback, I'm so pleased with how this new body of work has been received so far

Everyone is heavily hand finished and the print you receive may differ slightly from the above photo

Following on from the sell out success of my last print I have decided to release another, I wanted this one to be bigger, more detailed and have a much higher degree of hand finishing to it yet still remain at the same price as the last one. To coincide with the print launch I painted live in the courtyard of Castle Arts Gallery Sat 23rd May.
