So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

From formative nights at Eric’s and early encounters with The Fall, to coming up with one of post-punk’s most poetic band names and introducing Julian Cope to Scott Walker. We chat post‑punk tribes, unexpected fame in the Philippines, and a memorable meeting with Paul McCartney.

OK you lot…. A word of warning. Jase is going to be turning down clients before long. His student list has flown up - and who could be surprised! He’s a bloody genius! I’ve come on leaps and bounds from technically inept to technically adept in a month. BOOK EARLY! 👍🏻
