It’s showtime!

Thrilled to announce that Maidenheads most marvellous shop has offered to stock my drawings on a permanent basis. Queen of Cool Francesca Hennessy has loaned me a 180cm x 150cm expanse of wall in her beautiful boutique 'Two for Joy' and invited me to hang whichever portraits I think best.

...don't bother using them as paperweights in an impromptu photo shoot on your neighbour's front stoop. They roll about on purpose, just to get in the way - and they cast surprisingly large shadows all over the money shot. I'll use bananas next time.continue reading →
