Biography
My vision is to make art that feels friendly, joyful and instantly human. I create bold, playful work inspired by everyday moments, nature and shared experiences, in a style designed to make people smile, pause, look and feel excited.
My mission is to take art out of quiet galleries and place it where life is happening, especially outdoors and in public spaces. I want my work to be accessible to everyone, sparking curiosity, connection and small moments of joy. Whether it’s a mural, installation or live drawing, my aim is to create art that brings people together and leaves places feeling lighter, warmer and more alive!
inspiration
My work has many influences from abstract expressionism, the 80's New York street art and Pop art movement to early 2000’s comic books and Warner Bros cartoons.
I am particularly inspired by the works of other artists; Keith Haring, Jean Michel-Basquiat, Jean Dubuffet, Picasso, Henri Rousseau, Yayoi Kusama, Wassily Kandinsky Mr Doodle and Kev Munday - to name a few!
Aside from artistic inspiration, I believe there are ideas everywhere. Unusual themes, people, places and even news stories can motivate me to reflect and begin a new piece.
Music is a wonderful catalyst to create and my work has in the past, been used by musicians, DJ’s and track producers to use on album covers or gig backdrops.
I have also delved regularly into the realms of spirituality and have an interest in Eastern Philosophy which can inspire the work I create.
medium
My contemporary 'doodle' style takes many forms - from canvas, murals, apparel, shoes and print, tattoos to guitars and pianos - I do not wish my medium to constrain me to a certain size or scale!
Primarily I use acrylic based paint pens to create my pieces. Often the simple use of a thick black marker is enough to satisfy me creatively!
Alongside I will frequently use ink, acrylic paint, emulsion wood burning and digital illustration.
A few mediums have also been physical 'products'. I have worked alongside Adidas & Depop to create a new design for their sustainable 'Stan Smith' trainer & most recently artwork for an afro pick design, celebrating BLM. From time to time, digital works best, having completed mural projects for the RAF.
