Here's a photo soon to be featured in the Evening Post! It was taken from the Apples and Pears market last Saturday (a market aspiring to be a nottingham version of Spittlefields in London) An article will be featured with this with interviews from myself and the market founders "Curiosityhaus".

Website launching soon!


Its been a long time coming but my website is nearly ready for lift off!
I'll keep you all posted.... to celebrate the launch I'm having a giveaway for one lucky person. More info coming soon.

V&A Museum of Childhood


Beautiful and inspiring exhibit.
This museum is AMAZING! Well worth a visit if your heading to Bethnal Green.
The exhibition "Make do and Mend" combines the talents of local designers and school children. Jon Male, Lou Rota and Max McMurdo rework salvaged domestic and industrial waste to create stylish, quirky new products. Pieces featured range from lampshades to teacups and saucers to sock bunnies. Absolutely love these plates.

Crazy month...


My god what a crazy month! Apologies for the lack of posting recently, I've been ridiculously busy!
Here is a shot from the Apples and Pears market in Snienton on Saturday. I'm pleased to say the weather was very kind to us and lots of people showed their support. I had a cake stall next to me too- a pretty good position I think!
My photo
Inspired by Circuses, Victoriana, and Surrealism I create collage’s combining the past and present through a mixture of found imagery, illustration, photography and drawing. Working with collage and my trusted photocopier I create all of my work by hand, frequenting second hand shops, car boot sales and markets to build up my ever growing archive of second hand books, magazines, photographs and postcards. I always create my work by hand, only using a computer for layout at final stages. I like my illustration to have a certain tangibility, a quality that cannot be captured by digital means alone, even if that is as small as a blob of ink or a smudge on a photocopy.
