Saturday 28th July 2018 marked the tenth year of the Norwich Pride Parade, and I documented this event through drawing. I followed the Parade as it passed through the city streets and completed these quick drawings whilst in the crowds. The city was full of vibrant colour and positivity, a great event to experience first hand and celebrate through drawing.
I held my second solo exhibition ‘Drawn to the City’ at Studio 20, Norwich from the 6th-8th July 2018.

I have a table at the upcoming Fresh Artisan Spring makers market at St Mary’s Works, Norwich. Where I will be selling cards, prints, zines and original artwork. And maybe some quick live portraits if anyone wants any!
There are some really great exhibitors, workshops and food. I hope to see you there!
This weekend I visited the Roger Law exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre, primarily to see the Spitting Image puppets up close and learn some more about his work.

I recently spent a weekend in Bruges, Belgium for a Winter break, myself and my girlfriend were attracted by the promise of good beer, chocolate, waffles and medieval architecture.
Bruges did not disappoint, every street is cobbled and lined with medieval buildings. From the picturesque Markt Square, with the multi-coloured guild houses and imposing Belfry Tower to the canals and bridges, there is plenty to see.

Just before Christmas I was approached by Patterns of Play to produce a cover illustration for the Norwich FC home programme. It was to be for their first game of 2018 with Millwall. Due to the Christmas shutdown the artwork had to be completed that week, giving me not long to get the job done. I love a tight deadline so I jumped at the challenge!

I have designed a range of Norfolk themed illustrated Christmas cards. They are available online through my website and Etsy. I wanted to design some cards that raised a knowing smile for people who are from Norfolk. They have gone down well so far and were fun to do, I have some more ideas for some further designs so look out for more next year! In the meantime snap them up before they go at etsy.com/uk/shop/NorfolkNChristmas or in person at The Book Hive in Norwich.
I will be at the Christmas Market at North Bar, 7 Fye Bridge Street, Norwich on Sunday 26th November 10-4pm. I am selling brand new Christmas cards and zines alongside prints of my work. Hope to see you there!

I am pleased to announce that I am now offering a service to draw houses. I can work from supplied photographs or draw the artwork on location. Prices start at £160 and include original artwork and a digital file. Perfect as a gift, for personal stationery or a greetings card.
Please call or email for a quote, stating what size artwork you would like and a date you’d like it by. I can then either visit your address or work from your supplied images. An initial sketch will be provided before final painting is completed.
I have been a member of the AOI for a few years now but only recently added my portfolio to their site. Being restricted to featuring just 20 images is quite a challenge, but in a good way as it has forced me to select images of my work that best represent me today. Great to see my work alongside people I admire.
