  • Clerkenwell, London - 'Liquid Lights!'

    Clerkenwell, London - 'Liquid Lights!'

    2 Clerkenwell Road, London - So here's the finished HUGE mural on the side of the Hat and Feathers pub in Clerkenwell! I was commissioned by SONY and Global Street Art, to paint this for the Xperia, 'I Can See In The Dark' campaign, highlighting the low light really superb capabilities of their Xperia phone! I painted this over a 3 day period, using a cherry picker, spray paint and some incredible vibrant UV liquid paints! If you go down there and wait for 9pm, the UV lights come on a certain areas have been picked out in UV, giving a nigh time experience, of glowing neon signs emerging from the wall!

    Brockley / London - wall finished and revealed!

    Brockley / London - wall finished and revealed!

    'Neon Streets' - Brockley / London - Finally revealed! The scaffold was removed and I saw the wall for the first time completely as a whole, tricky working on this essentially as two pieces that i hoped would blend together, and seem to have done a decent job of it! Really pleased with it, and should stay for a fair few years. feel free to share. Had such an amazing response from the local community, 'brightening up their streets'.

    'Tokyo Rush' - Worthing

    'Tokyo Rush' - Worthing

    So here's my latest large scale wall commission. This was painted at the amazing new bar in Worthing, called 'The Libertine'. It's a rush hour in Tokyo, a rainy winter's evening, people carrying umbrellas, hunched over, trying to get home, cars gridlocked on rain soaked streets, steam, water and light everywhere! It's a permanent wall, so should be there a good few years!

    'The Dead Man's Arms' - digital painting

    'The Dead Man's Arms' - digital painting

    'The Dead Man's Arms' - Whilst everyone sleeps, I like to get up early everyday, sitting in my studio in the dark, silence all around, with just the lights if the computer monitors illuminating the room, I can immerse myself in these dark fantasy worlds of London Dark, ancient creatures, ghostly figures and eerie deserted streets inhabited only by the dead fill my sketchbooks and allow me to choose where I want to go to in this alternate reality. I am particularly happy with this illustration, the multiple light sources are a challenge that I relish, they allow a real sense of form and depth as well as tangible light and shadow…always fascinated by light and these really allow me to explore the way light reacts with stone, bone and slimy flesh and tentacles! The added bioluminescence of the ancient god also adds another dimension to the light effects!

    'Neon Streets' - Sclater Street - East London

    'Neon Streets' - Sclater Street - East London

    So here's my latest large scale painting in East London this time, not painted something large around East for quite a while now, so was good to be back with Global Street Art painting just off Brick Lane. Interesting surface, very rough brickwork, but even though i would prefer smooth rendered walls to show the subtle shading and build up of colours, i do like the way the textured surfaces create a beautiful rich textured effect, which in certain lights does look superb! Anyway hope you like

    Brighton - Gallery commissoned wall
