Here is a sneak peek at my new studio...

Great News! I won the Greenvoice student competition. Have a look at the other designs here: http://www.greenvoice.com/poster_competition 

I designed the flyers for a new Ska / Pop band called Just For Kicks. A screen printed version of the whole flyer can be seen in the Printing section of My Gallery. Let me know what you think. Visit their myspace...

Continuing with the theme of Play and making a board game for paper dolls I decided to make a boy version that adults would have fun with too. I created Bring On The Bling, where the aim is to roll the dice and land on a "Bring on the Bling" square to collect as much bling as possible to win. I decided the theme would be a light-hearted take on Hip-Hop culture with references to break-dancing, graffiti and fashion.

I flew from London to New York and visited most of the tourist attractions and tested my photography skills. For more photo's see the Photography section in my gallery.

Make your own paper dolls! Save these images to your desktop, print them and cut out the little ladies and their clothes. Use the tabs to keep their clothes on and change them for every occasion. These paper dolls are sold with the handmade Fashion Frenzy board game, for more clothes and info please contact me.

This involved collaborating with other students at Camberwell College of Arts to create an exhibition on the theme of PLAY. I created a board game with paper dolls aimed at girls aged 6-8 years-old. The object of the game is to roll the dice and land on the "wardrobe square" to pick out an item of clothing. The first person to dress their paper doll wins and gets to go party at the disco. The exhibition was a great success and I'd like to thank everyone for coming!
