Great to be working with Vanity Fair again, this time the U.K version for a special November pull out section called 'Vanity Fair on Art' in connection with museum directors & the responsibilities that they face. Check it out in print today.
So it's finally here. It's taken a year to put together but i'm excited to announce an exhibition of new work consisting of eight paintings on canvas (the first time for twenty years at least) comes to the Jack House Gallery situated in the beautiful seaside town of Old Portsmouth. Private view on September 10th then runs until 17th October, drop by if you're in the area.
Lovely to be asked back to illustrate a short story from the poet Pele Cox for the Sunday Times Magazine. The reportage style gets an outing here as the main character begins a passionate brief affair with a wealthy married man.
Thrilled to be asked to contribute an illustration for Variety Magazine over in the U.S. on the topic of how actors keep their roles fresh in a long running series. I absolutely loved Mad Men so it was an extra pleasure to get a chance to illustrate Elisabeth Moss's character Peggy Olson as the 1970 version walks casually past her 1960 self.
Sometimes projects just don't work out for whatever reason. Nonetheless it was great to be involved in this promotional illustration that unfortunately didn't get used for the new Alan Yau Duck & Rice restaurant on Berrick Street Soho, possibly a little bit too comical!
It's nice to be asked back to illustrate a piece for The Telegraph. This time for the Business section within the Saturday supplement on a subject dealing with women who go back to work after an extended maternity break.

It's been a long time in the making but the extended Book Titles Series finally makes it to the walls of The Montpelier in Peckham Rye from 8th August. What started as a six piece experiment two years ago has now spread to 17 titles (at the last count!) & are displayed each with individual antique/junk shop frames. Taking key elements from each novel, i then drew over the title page & added splashes of colour where appropriate.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Muswell Hill hero Ray Davies reaching the top of the charts with The Kinks You Really Got Me, the head curator over at the Bruce Castle Museum Robert Waite decided to organise a small exhibition as an appreciative nod to the man & his music. I was asked to provide the portrait artwork on banners displayed both inside & outside of the museum. Catch the event from 25th July til 21st December
