Award winning Director of animated kids TV. Artist.
Expect rants about the state of everything & art! Own views.
I’m thinking of starting a group called ‘Antisocial media’ where people chat face to face and hang out, maybe talking about subjects they don’t agree on but still managing to be civil.

It’s been a busy summer making art out of discarded rubbish and stuff.
Check out some of the work here:

Each piece has a story. Some stories are embedded in the objects, some stories emerge as objects come together.

Most recent work. I’ve been busy rediscovering my artist.

I forget to post on here. Part of the weening off social media, by replacing the time I usually doom scroll with reading or walking outside.. also making more art. It has to be said, I do feel calmer for it. Although the shock of then reengaging with the crazy world is surprising.

Here a little piece I made yesterday. The smallest so far. I included a tiny bit of an old disintegrated newspaper .. can you read the words?

Really enjoying making stuff with my hands. Less doomscrolling more chiselling.

I have set a target of posting at least every other day on my TikTok art page. To build an audience but also to put pressure on myself to keep on making work. The discipline of regular time spent creating.

I have spent the best part of 2 hours battling with my computer, is the universe trying to tell me something?

I’ve been listening to Cuban jazz today and it has lifted my spirit immensely.
