I was commissioned via Dot Art Liverpool to create a set of A0 sized prints to go on display at The Plaza in St Pauls Square in Liverpool.
I start my process with swooshes of ink or paint, creating textural organic shapes on large paper.
Print making is one of my preferred disciplines. I love using lino, and enjoy hand cutting my own shapes. I also often make prints and textures from found objects.
My process allows me to be flexible. If I have the space I can either create larger scale originals, or transfer my textures to a digital format for limited edition prints. They work beautifully as a set or as a focal piece.
If you’re interested in an original piece or limited edition print, please get in touch for more details.
I have been working in the creative sector since studying graphic design and illustration at LJMU. I started out painting murals and attending graffiti events – working primarily with spray paint at that time. I would then progress to painting large scale corporate murals once I graduated and began a placement at Nonconform – where I still work today. In my university days, I was often told by tutors that ‘you would never work in an agency’
Hilariously I hated computers whilst at uni, and preferred making everthing from scratch. Even now I try to be as hands on as possible, but obviously using a computer is inevitable with the job I do.
#throwback - I’ve just been going through my portfolio and found some prep sketches for an @everton FC brief I did the illustrations for whilst at LJMU Graphic Arts with @domwitt who did the design work. My tutor was @mickeyshona - It’s still one of my favourites. I can’t find the final flyer, but I do love the prep work. I remember staying up all night to get them just right. 💙

A few back in the day snaps. More to come. A glimpse at my fumey past with a few others in there from around that time (including the track) Graff, Family, friends, BBC Bananas Mosaic murals, Chavette vibes and so on …. I like sharing these images now, it was a huge part of my earlier life. #graff #molotow #walls #murals
