• Coffee Time

    New Work alert! This is a present for someone who loves coffee! I have been experimenting with collage, shape and texture as a form of image making. I like the playfulness and looseness of this way of creating images. I want to develop this style further and be even bolder with the cut shapes, and…

    Desmond Gray 29th Nov. So someone I met recently mentioned to me about this site of mine they’d stumbled upon that I’d completely forgotten about. I believe everything happens for a reason so I’m going to start using it again. Why not eh! (Even though WordPress confuses the hell out of me).

  • Pitta Bed

    It’s 02.42 am and I need some sleep just like this guy in his pita bed.  I was walking around Sainsburys a while back now and I saw some pitta bread as I walked down the isle and thought to myself, I’m gonna buy this and make a ‘pitta bed’, so I brought the pack…
