Exciting announcement alert!

I’ll be creating a hand painted mural at as part of ***rarts , inspired and featuring the poetry of Colette Bryce.

My favourite line of The Full Indian Rope Trick :

‘It was painful; it took years.
I’m my own witness,
guardian of the fact
that I’m still here.’

You’ll be able to check it out in the beer garden of the Sunflower from the 12th November! So have a pint, read a poem and look at some art - it’ll do you good.

👹 ‘I Did it for the Devilment’ 👹

This is based on an old episode about my new favourite cryptid, Gef. Gef was an strange spirit that visited a lonely family on the Isle of Man in the 1930s, although we don’t know if he was an inter dimensional Tulpa, a spooky ghost, or just an imaginary friend in an isolated world.

So excited to share this one with you all! asked me to design a cover for his new album, titled ‘Burnt Out Lightning’. After he spoke to me about his adventures travelling around in his truck, playing bars and that all coming to a halt because of Covid, I was really excited to create something to reflect his experience. He also sent me a few tracks to check out and *chefs kiss* - just can’t wait to hear it on vinyl. Thanks so much for the trust Lester, this was a real pleasure to make.

New @2.f.r.u.i.t.y single ‘U.P.S’ out tomorrow!!!

I designed this logo and cover for the iconic creator whilst thinking about their fresh and sparkly tunes and personality ✨ they are just incredibly talented, and I can assure you, you have never heard anything like F.R.U.I.T.Y before.

And here’s the design! I was playing a lot of when I made this (if you can’t tell) and couldn’t get enough of the old timey cartoon aesthetic. The lads printed a b&w version of the design onto a white tee which is now sold out - but you can still look at this photo of me loving it!

are big, dreamy, fuzzy energy and I channeled that aura when I created their new merch design. I got my pink shirt in an XXL so I could wear it as a pretty dress 🌼

F**k Me Up!

I drew this one of the (many) times I was bedridden with pain because of my ovaries. It’s my personal message to contraceptives everywhere - we have a real love/hate relationship.

A little preview of some work I did for my new favourite band ... make sure to follow them before their single release on April 2 because it is a certified masterpiece 🌹

I painted and embroidered this onto a T-shirt a few years ago, but due to wear and tear (and pit stains) it’s time to repurpose it into a framed piece! Let Love In was released on my year of birth and has one of the most beautiful colour palettes of any album cover, in my opinion anyway.
