Glitch — my first scrollable immersive installation.
Inspired by the surrealists as social hackers.
Huge thanks to The Writers’ Mark for curating The Leonora Banquet at Brighton Fringe, and to The Regency Town House for hosting.

Can I continue to keep my design and art practice separate?
They're the same thing right?
So why do they belong in different parts of my brain?

The creativity from my art practice feeds my commercial work ... which itself pays for time for me to play.

"It turns out that not everyone’s cut out to wait in a queue to sit with virtual Marina Abramović. Not even Marina Abramović."
I Made a Video Game of “The Artist Is Present.” Marina Abramović Couldn’t Sit Through It.
What seemed at first like a simple game about waiting turned into a study in design focused on time, endurance, and audience experience.

Collabbed on a zine at my monthly digital storytelling night.

2 hours absolute chaos.

Would I have done it alone? Nope. Would I do it again? Immediately.

Collaboration is weird. Completely worth it.

The power of three …

Mixed media inks, acrylics and more

A vivid, emotionally charged painting of three figures standing close together against a chaotic, multicolored background of purples, reds, yellows, and blues. The figures are rendered in a loose, expressive style with visible brushstrokes and layered textures. The central figure, dressed in bright orange, stares forward with a solemn expression. The figure on the left has long dark hair and streaks of black and orange across their face, while the figure on the right appears ghostly, with distorted features and multicolored smudges, creating a haunting, almost mask-like appearance. A close-up of the figure on the left side of the painting. This person has long dark hair partially obscuring their face. The skin is painted in shades of orange, yellow, and red, with black lines dripping down like tears or ink. Their expression is tense and shadowed, evoking sadness or discomfort. A close-up of the central figure, who has short hair and wears a vivid orange garment. Their expression is serious and direct, with large dark eyes and facial features marked by thick lines and rough textures. The backdrop continues the energetic, swirling strokes seen in the full image. A close-up of the rightmost figure, whose face is heavily abstracted and distorted. The features are overlaid with scribbles and patches of pale white, green, purple, and black, giving the impression of a face that is partially erased or rewritten. The eyes are hollow, and the mouth is open, suggesting distress or transformation.

I know Sunday afternoon club nights are a thing now … but wondering if a 6am silent disco has legs? (Better than running right?)

Dance like no one’s watching, right?

Love it! We want to make some sticker sheets people can print but didn't get there yet. Too busy making posters! Since we see you are out acting up, we would like to share that we have 70+ free posters you can print at home. We hate Ads, so there are none on the site, just free stuff to resist with!

Collaboration's kinda a new thing for me . .so I'm still finding my feet when it comes to blending my ideas with someone else's.

What if I’d pushed harder? What if I'd shut up and let it happen?
Who knows ...

People sometimes ask how big our tapes are, so to provide a sense of scale, here are a few recent cassettes photographed next to some typical rocks.

“Art shouldn’t need a disclaimer.” Ouch.

Instead of letting my work speak for itself, I’ve been over-explaining, justifying it before it’s even done.

Why am I so quick to show the rough bits and talk about what’s coming next?

I have Big Kid Energy - and a big oversharing problem.

I straddle two creative worlds: design and art.

One is about solving problems.
The other is about exploring them.

One pays the bills.
The other keeps me sane.

They're getting closer together. Will they meet in the middle?

Watch this space.

I'm so bad at asking for help ... collabs have always been a no-no.

But turns out it's not about losing control - it’s about making something bigger than you ever could alone.

I’m learning this the hard way. Post coming soon. Sign up here: 👇
