Yesterday I paid a visit to Albert Square in Manchester to see my newly-installed cast iron drain cover.
My cover is located in the southern end of the beautifully refurbished square, near the large tree and the William Gladstone statue, and is one of five designs created by members of the public.

After a two-year wait, my competition-winning drain cover design has finally been manufactured in cast iron. The 60cm wide piece is to be installed in the newly-landscaped Albert Square in Manchester, and this Monday I will get to see it in situ.

New #illustration work!
I worked with Arbor Ales and 2000 Trees Festival to illustrate the can for this special festival beer, 'Holding Out for A Beero', a 'zesty session pale ale'.
The beer will be available on site at 2000trees Festival in July, in shops around Bristol, and on Arbor's website

I loved this project!
x+why is a London-based company that creates flexible workspaces. I was commissioned to design a mural for the reception area of their new space at 100 Embankment in #Salford. The brief asked for a design that covered the past, present and future of the site and wider area.

Adobe continually pack their software with AI gubbins but I still get 1 pixel gaps along the edge of the artboard when outputting images for web. Fix the basics!
