Crookston Castle Furniture










This is my painted furniture in Hannah Logan’s doll house… she also took the lovely miniture picture of the dog! 
This work is based on the past owners of Crookston Castle in Glasgow and the people living in the area now. As the castle now belongs to the National Trust.

This is  a Gif inspired by our throw away cycle. But who cares? Its recyclable anyway. But does that mean we should waste it?

Endless Empress



About 4 month ago I was asked to illustrate Kirkland Ciccone's new book 'Endless Empress'. Its wonderfully crazy and weird new book! In the book a group of teenagers create a fantacy world which soon leads to mass murder. Kirkland Ciccone deals sensitively with a really difficult subject matter.

The launch day was on the 30th of October 2014.  What an amazing day.

Pinhole Photgraphy: The Underpass 2013


The Underpass, Pinhole photography, (2013)

A box without a lense containing photosensitive paper left und an underpass for 25.5 minutes. I was disappointed with the negative, but it turned out great when I reverted it. Never trust what you first see.

Another take on Irwin Hoffman's Exhibition prospectus






This is a book I illustrated and hand bound. It was inspired by aexbition prospectus of Irwin Hoffman's art work. I felt the book did not honour his personal views and experiences enough, therefore I combined his words with his work. I made line drawings of the works and filled them with Hoffman's thoughts and opinions about the sitters, scenes or people he portraid. This is another take on Hoffman's paintings, etchings and drawings. 

There is a lot of photocopying and reproduction involved in the process of creating the final illustrations. I wanted to replicate puting a mans life work in a book format and replicate it a thousand times.  

Childhood in Salt Dough 2014





Do you remember what things felt like when you were a child? The texture of your fathers skin? The way his hand was large and warm? The things he always had, ate and read? These were experiments trying to recreate those memories using salt dough. 

Funny Little Quotes 2013

These are illustrations of all of those funny things that children say. I brought these quotes into the crazy and fantastic world. In a strange a wonderful way, they make sense here. 

Little David in German Woods 2013

Little David (Acrylic Paint)
This is a mash of different visual inspirations of mine. During one of my Gallery visits I was stunned by beauty of the V&A's replica of Michelangelo David. A beautiful piece of work. I brought him into a landscape familiar to me. It's a piece full of tension, it's for the viewers own interpretation.

Oil painting with Lily






Oil painting is a very particular skill. Unlike acrylic paint, the layers are much more important. A consistent ground creates an over all vibe in a painting. These are just studies of flowers, but they have taught me about creating a certain vibe in a painting and how to unify this feel. All of these paintings have green and natural tones for a ground; an 'avocrative-ground'.
