Siebtel Himmel CSD Pride window takeover, Cologne 2024.

A super quick trip to Cologne to paint the beautiful window of specialist book and design shop Siebtel Himmel situated in the heart of the Belgian Quarters ahead of the CSD Pride celebrations. The company allowed me to work my magic using the signature brand colour across the window, adding all things CSD, Pride and design related.. Was a super fun filled afternoon meeting locals, chatting to shoppers and intrigued passersby… Had to sample a few of the local Kölsch beers to quench my thirst on the hot Summers day!

No Fire No Glory Cafe Facade, P'berg Berlin.

Had the opportunity to paint the Shutters of one of my favourite Cafes NO FIRE NO GLORY up in Prenzlauerberg, Berlin.

In-keeping with the companie’s brand I freestyled a super bold and playful black and white graphic treatment across the Shutters of the Cafe.

One of the best Brunch spots in the neighbourhood, they make a mean flat white and the lunch specials are not to be missed.. If up in P’berg check them out on RykerStraße 45, 10405.

AMCI Global Interior Mural, UK.

Brightening up the interior Shutters of AMCI Global UK HQ! I was given creative freedom to come up with a bold black and white graphic that reflects the automotive company ethos and evolution over the years! Neil the MD trusted my vision to deliver a clean hand painted Mural enriching and uplifting the office environment.

Solidarity with Ukraine.

A revised and super important message for the "Love Thy Neighbour" Mural that I painted in the heart of Budapest's Jewish quarters some years ago on Dob Utca! I was commissioned by the organisers of the Színes Város Festival who kindly made the changes to the original heart to express our solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

FLOWER STUDIES - SUMMER 2021

Since the first lockdown came into place with the ongoing pandemic I managed to get holed up back in my Country beginnings just north east of Oxford in the Cotswolds. Throughout the past two Spring and Summers here I’ve been fortunate enough to reconnect with the amazing nature on my doorstep and found a huge inspiration in the flowers growing in the garden. I’m especially drawn to the Echinacea flowers and their dramatic cone centres. Below is a selection of the Flower Series that is currently on-going and evolving.

Flower Studies

Working on a new personal project “Flower Studies”

Back to Berlin!

After spending lock-down purely by chance back in the UK, I am now finally back in Berlin to enjoy the last few weeks of Summer in the City. Since arriving back I made a conscious decision to slowly ease myself into life back here. One of my favourite activities is cycling around the City, discovering new areas, Cafes and Murals which are plentiful. I’ve always passed by this amazing and currently empty beauty of Brutalist architecture. Designed by Ralf and Ursulina Schüler, the Bierpinsel “Beer Brush” can be found on Schlossstraße in Steglitz, south west Berlin. Construction was completed in 1976 and opened as a restaurant… A sad state to see it now standing empty and unloved…. Would be a dream to paint the facade, which in-fact happened back in 2010 with the Turmkunst project… A dream futuristic home and studio space! The original facade can be seen here taken soon after completion.
