Update!

Dear followers of this blog, I apologise for not posting anything in quite a while. There are indeed many exciting news to share: I have illustrated a kids activity book for Ilex Press, which has been published in the UK last month and is now available in the shops; my Etsy shop has reopened with brand new screen prints and also postcards. The Rostra Gallery in Bath as well as Raum Italic in Berlin are now selling my work; my screen print The Allotment has been published in the current Resurgence and Ecologist issue and you can now find my work in the magazine's online gallery.
From now on you can also find me on Tumblr, Facebook and on Instagram. If you would like to follow future updates on my work, just pop by on either of the above links.

Families@4

Last month I was commissioned by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group to make an illustration for one of their upcoming events. As always I very much enjoyed working with their very playful themes.

Resurgence and Ecologist

I recently had the pleasure of working with the wonderful magazine Resurgence and Ecologist again, who have used two of my screen prints as illustrations for their January/February issue. You can also dip into their many interesting articles via the magazine's web page.

Le immagini della Fantasia 32

On Friday the exhibition Le immagini della fantasia 32 opened at the Edinburgh College of Art. A group of artists based from Scotland had been selected last year to contribute illustrations based on Scottish folklore. My fellow illustrators Gerry Turley, Laura Davis, Catherine Hiley and Keith Thompson also took part, with whom I had organised the exhibition EH? in 2014. The selection of my work included screen prints as well as a digital illustration I made for the publication Tales From Scotland by Le immagini della Fantasia. Sadly now being based in Berlin I could not be there in person, but am delighted to share some photos from the opening.

This week I had my first screen-printing-session at the Bethanien Printworkshop in Kreuzberg/Berlin. The print is inspired by the beautiful allotment that used to be my daily view from my kitchen-window, when I still lived in Edinburgh. There was always a cat roaming around and lovely old man watering his little plot of vegetables.

This is my current work-space in Berlin, which I'm sharing with a bunch of other designers.

Goodbye Scotland

It has been a while since I have posted some updates, which is due to some big changes which recently happened in my life. A few months ago I have decided to relocate from bonnie Edinburgh to busy Berlin. After weeks of planning and preparing, packing and organising, I have now arrived in Berlin a week ago, where a new chapter of creativity and inspiration can begin. So bear with me, whilst I am setting myself up in this new environment. In order to share some recent artwork, I thought I should post some sketches I made whilst travelling on the Isle of Harris in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. A fair well to my favourite landscape.
