Formica Fun

Whilst German words and Christmas cheese filled my belly with love and laughter... I thought long and hard about why i love painting on cement or papered walls so much.....
3 years in university learning about the reasons for inks and print systems and solvent based methods of surface decoration all came back to me as i was faced with a 4-door plastic-coated wardrobe. If you dont have an industrial scale vector plotting vinyl cutter to hand, paintbrushes do the job and even fit in your handluggage!

UAB Mile End

At the Urban Adventure Base in Mile End park i was commissioned, alongside artist Nik Jones, to work with a young girls group to decorate the walls next to the changing rooms. Time management and general youth attendance were the biggest hurdels. But in the end we came up with this starburst including star designs by the girls.

Black Cherry trees.

BETTER PICS TO COME

As big of an effort that i make to avoid christmas, something eventually eats away at my sentiments and i get the gold and/or silver paint out.

This week ,3 days were spent painting 3 trees in a gorgeous 4 story house in londn SW8,. My trees, although something pretty special, were nothing on the first Proper xmas tree i saw this year, 5ft high and towering over the wide-eyed toddler of the house.

"Black cherry yoghurt" coloured paint+metalic details to this forest mural were a brave new move but thanks to the moral and practical support of my excellent helper Helen, i took the plunge and am super-proud to have contributed to the most stylish, and seasonal home i've seen for years.
