I’ve been really buzzed to take part in an exhibition at Craven Arts House in Skipton, as part of the Imaginarium takeover, which runs throughout September… Craven Arts House is a centre for contemporary arts, run by an artist-led organisation. Throughout September, I’ll be showing some of my artwork in their gallery space, as part … Read More
As modelled here by my pal Joe Haze, I’ve had some t-shirts printed with a bit of artwork I made a loooong time ago. You can buy these here and there’s a £5 discount available to patrons. Please feel free to contact me if you want the deets of the printer, too. He’s an independent … Read More
I knew back in September, that I wouldn’t be writing much over the following few months. Nearly a year before, we had left our old studio space, created in a warehouse just off Kirkstall Road, and that had meant several weeks of graft – and also that the rest of my life didn’t get a … Read More
I went to Van Gogh – The Immersive Experience and all I got was this lousy notebook that I purchased as I exited through the gift shop… Nah, it was brilliant. I’m not posting any pics of the actual thing, though, as that kind of defeats the object and would do it no justice (you … Read More
Among the many events that took place in Leeds during the Jubilee weekend, the Leeds Street Gallery Jubilee Block Party at Seagulls Paint on the Saturday was an excellent day.

I was dimly aware of his name, and I think I could relate it to his … Read More
After having my head up my arse for most of the early part of this year (I was suffering the after effects of my second go of Covid, then a friend died – I wasn’t in a place to think about much), I came to a couple of weeks ago. One of the first things … Read More
It’s been a mad couple of months. When I started packing to move house and began the real task of sorting our studio space I knew it would be a mad few weeks. I underestimated how long it would all actually take. This is unusual for me. Usually I overestimate. We took on a warehouse … Read More
I’m conscious of repeatedly posting the same thing, so didn’t want to do daily updates on our progress doing up our wonderful new space. Also, I’ve been busy as hell as I’ve needed to make sure I’m earning enough to pay my share of the costs. Following the glorious multi-coloured walls, we needed to get … Read More
Last week I took up the brilliant opportunity of helping prolific Leeds artist Nicolas Dixon out as he painted a mural in the Trinity Centre. Along with Peachzz , Florence Blanchard, Raul33 & D7606, artists for Blackbox and OllyStudio, he has transformed the Albion Street entrance to the shopping centre. This will coincide with new … Read More
