Jill contacted me through Etsy to create a portrait for her family – she knew she wanted it in her kitchen and that it had to pop! Jill sent me lots of pictures of her lovely family, we discussed how they would appear and what […]

Family diorama for Andrew
These deep box frames have been a great way to create these family dioramas – adding a bit of background/ depths to family portraits – this one was for Andrew’s birthday from his family 🙂
Helen Tamiris by Man Ray (and me!)
I went on a papercutting workshop recently – something I’ve been meaning to explore for quite some time. We worked on a couple of things on the day, but for me not an original piece of artwork. So this is my first proper karuski […]
Ziggy played guitar
That’s right, I can’t stop. Question is, which Bowie to do next? What do you think?

Pam’s family tree
This is not that new an item, but amazingly, it’s slipped through the blogging net until now! I am very proud of this tree, although I was mostly very daunted by the prospect of over 50 people to draw initially! But the thing is, ultimately, […]
Family coat of arms
Families have their very own identity, their heritage and their quirks. And pets! So going back to tradition, I thought it would be nice to allow our modern families to revisit the concept of coat of arms.
My family portraits shown in Born, Stoke Newington!
I have been given a fantastic opportunity to show my work in Born – a family/ baby shop where I live in Stoke Newington. This is the first time that my family portraits get an airing outside of the digital world, and I am absolutely […]
More Michael Stipe – from the vaults
Yes, I truly was a huge REM fan… Unearthed teenage drawing from 1991.
