Every day is a reminder that the land and our bodies have been laid before Mammon in tribute.

And that's not enough.

It has to be our minds and hearts, too.

That's capitalism.

For Christ’s sake. The vast vast vast majority of the left are not anti-Semitic and *also* condemn the actions in Palestine. I don’t know who he thinks he’s pandering to here.

My work is mostly black and white so keen in 2026 to play more with colour.

Definitely been motivated by my time on some great workshops and courses run by inkygoodnesscollective over the past few months.

This personal project is for a beer can illustrating one of my home brews, Nelson's Triumph.

I have some more £10 commissions available.
It doesn't have to be of a goblin, but I really love goblins so that's the examples you can see here!

If you would like a commission please send me a message, thank you!

Having a rough time with the sarcoidosis at the moment. Not sure why feel need to mention this but look after yourselves. Give yourselves permission to pause and heal and be kind to each other but especially to yourself

DAY 21 – SALE ✨Our Roman-style flagon is here with a festive motto: “Bibe Felix” or “Drink Happy”. It’s handcrafted, hand painted & fired so the iron-oxide slip transforms from sunny yellow to sunset red. A lovely piece to raise a toast with.
