Happy faces February 18, 2015 12:00

We have forever had a thing about smiley/happy faces since the heady days of acid house in the 80's until now (sadly didn't own a smiley acid house t-shirt, thought it was a blessing in them days).

When I am drawing I often think can I squeeze one in and often I do... my smileys sum me up, happy looking on the outside with a dark and foreboding tinge...

Out and about in Shoreditch January 28, 2015 12:00

Running some errands and we couldn't help stopping to take pics of a few of these graffiti pieces in Shoreditch, East London. From old school tagging to new school street art, the area has the lot if you just look around you.

Let's face it January 14, 2015 12:00

I have wanted to take a picture of this derelict pub in Finsbury Park for years now, it has stood there all alone for up to 10 years. I, don't remember when I first noticed the graff faces painted all over the front but it is a good few years. I don't know who painted them but I always find them fascinating and wonder what is the story behind them.

I sometimes think the faces are of the crowds that used to come to the gigs open mouthed and in the moment, or are they the people of Finsbury Park all colours and nationalities, or are they all facing left for a reason maybe waiting for something to happen in that direction or pointing that way and it is code for something.

I found out that it was originally a pub called Sir George Robey and then changed hands a few times before it became a a venue called Club Dog in the 1980s for lots of up and coming artists like Blur, The Pogues and T'Pau and Bad Manners. In the 1990s it was taken over and then called the Powerhaus.

Now it is waiting to be pulled down and made into flats (what a surprise).

Carnivals, lost children, dark forests, clowns and mouths ooh my... January 7, 2015 12:00

Now Christmas and New Year have blown over I am getting myself back on my trusty pen and sketching a few new ideas for up and coming stuff. Nothing is better then getting lost in the art of the scribble and going with it and letting it take you anywhere your imagination lets you. At the mo I am thinking carnivals, lost children, dark forests, clowns and mouths.
