ROYAL ACADEMY CALENDAR 2026
Some great news which I’ve had to keep quiet for nearly a year. The Royal Academy annual calendar for 2026 features my print ‘Nothing to See Here’.
It’s available in their shops and online. I’m Mr November, to warm your artistic cockles in the cold winter months.
If you do buy a calendar, please send me a photo of the November spread, once it’s in situ.
A second edition of my silkscreen print 'Nothing To See Here’ will be printed late 2025.
My silkscreen print ‘Nothing To See Here’ was exhibited in the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition 2024. Due to demand I’m printing a second edition late 2025.
The second edition will be the same size as the one in the Summer Exhibition but with a different glitter colour. It will come in two colour background options, the original pale blue and fluorescent pink.
The printing of the second edition has had to be delayed due to heart surgery. I’m recovering and plan to get printing soon. Please bare with me..
If you email me your details and the print you’d most likely be interested in, I’ll keep you informed and I’ll be able to gauge interest.
My new silkscreen print ‘All I Ever Wanted’ will be printed this year.
My new silkscreen print ‘All I Ever Wanted’ was supposed to be entered into this years Royal Academy Summer Exhibition but they’d sold all their entries by the time I’d got myself organised. Oh well, next year…
Please see my portfolio section for more info on this forthcoming print.
Email me to be put on the reserved list and to be kept up to date on this prints progress. I hope to print this summer/autumn 2025.
I'm a designer & printmaker located in Woking, Surrey. I create silkscreen prints that cover a wide variety of subjects but most are on popular culture, music, record collecting and the quirks of life that I/we experience as we travel through it... Have a look at some examples below, you never know, you might find something you like...
PRINTMAKER
In the late 80’s I got a Degree in Fine Art Printmaking from Maidstone College of Art and since then, time allowing, I’ve produced prints and box art. Over time, my work has become more graphic as my design career evolved. I draw inspiration from snippets of language heard in everyday places like cafes and bars, embracing local sayings and slang. I believe art can be humorous and definitely inclusive to all. Music is a big passion of mine, and I’m planning a series of silkscreen prints inspired by it.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Since a young boy taking photos of cars at a local Ferrari dealership, I’ve always had my camera with me. Then in my design career, I often had to produce the imagery for my retouching projects. This has lead to me documenting my life through photography. For me it’s about capturing and conveying the moment rather than technical brilliance. Frustrated with bulky equipment, I’ve simplified my approach and now use small, lightweight cameras and available light where possible.
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
My work explores the relationship between critical theory and daytime TV.
With influences as diverse as Robert Rauschenberg, Russ Meyer, music and Marine Boy, new works are crafted from both orderly and random narratives.
I have always been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the zeitgeist. Be it new technology, a turn of phrase, fashion or the marriage of old and new, I try to shine a light on things that intrigue and amuse me.
Working within a set agenda, the imperfection of printmaking is for me part of the meditative process. I don’t go looking for it but embrace it when it appears. I enjoy silkscreen’s feel but try to avoid being drawn into the craft.
Most of all it’s a creative outlet, getting the images out of my head, making them ‘real’.
