Dead Guys Group Show

I am part of the group show, "Dead Guys", at the Superclub Gallery in Edinburgh this month. Throughout February, I will be showcasing some brand new work at the exhibition inspired by the undead and the re-animated. Other participants include Sophie Alda, Jon Boam, Patrick Kyle, Matthew Swan, Christopher Smith and many more.


Here are a few of the pieces I have on show. They're all A5 and acrylic on canvas paper.

And here is a custom sculpture I made for the show! The eyeball!

If you can make it, please come along and check out everyone's work! There are some fantastic artists involved.

Cut & Run Exhibition - The Opening

Here are a few shots from the opening night of the Cut & Run Exhibition at Kemistry.
The show was a mix of paintings, prints and sculptures created by Me, Ryan Chapman, Matthew Dent and Matt Bromley and was all planned and put together by Ryan.


Here are my acrylic paintings from the show, on a mixture of canvas and canvas paper. My images centered around revenge, murder, anxiety and loss. People being plagued by heinous acts they commited, and the ghosts that haunt them. I painted a fair few severed heads for good measure.

Here are Ryan Chapman's fantastic paintings. Ryan's work focussed around a series of characters that cut away from their jobs and normal lives, and ran off to persue what made them happy. He made some incredible bottled ships to accompany his work.

Matthew Dent created an amazing story through his series of prints, based around the concept of two rival gangs 'The Cutters' and 'The Runners' along with resin casted figurines of the gang members.

Matt Bromley created some very lively paintings which were accompanied by some brilliant severed heads, the trophies of his very cute but deadly hunters.

And here we have people enjoying the show. Thank you to everyone who made it to the opening, it was great to meet so many new people.
The show runs through until the 28th of Janurary in London.

Setup at Cut & Run

The Cut & Run Exhibition is now running at Kemistry gallery!
Here's a few shots taken from when we were setting up earlier this week.

75 Peters exhibition

To celebrate the british architect Peter Cook's 75th birthday the Adam and Eve Projects are putting on the exhibition '75 Peters' where 75 artists and illustrators have each created a portrait of Peter Cook and I was invited to take part.


Here is my submission here. I wanted to focus on what I would consider his most important tools, his eyes. I created this before seeing the invitation poster, but they work well together!
Each artwork will be auctioned off for charity.

Nonamarmi Launch and Exhibition

These portraits are part of a series that I started when I worked with Fabrizio Festa on his magazine Nonamarmi late last year, I continued to paint portraits of people or characters that inspire me as a personal project.
Fabrizio is now launching his magazine in full at a launch party where I will be exhibiting my portraits at the No-one Boutique in London this week.
Check out more information about the launch and exhibition at Jaguar Shoes.

iam8bit Exhibition

I am very excited to be able to announce that I have 2 paintings in this years iam8bit show in Los Angeles. The show kicks off today!
Here are my pieces:


Tripping in the Mushroom Kingdom


The Death of Woodman

Both pieces are 30x30cm, acrylics on canvas.

It was great to be able to take part in the show because I think the colour pallettes, the simple design and the limited perspective of retro games have really influenced my work from playing these games as a kid, so it was good being able to delve back into them.

Art Trek 8 Opening

On Saturday, Art Trek 8 kicked off in Antwerp, Belgium, where I had some of my paintings on show.
I wish I could split into two, because then I could have visited Belgium for the show, but I was at the Big Chill Festival on the weekend.
Thank you to everyone who came to the show and a big thank you to everyone who put together the show and hung my work because I couldn't make it.
The show carries on until the 17th of September. (Fingers crossed I can still make it over before the exhibition closes).

Art Trek 8 Exhibition

Next month the Art Trek 8 exhibition kicks off in Antwerp, Belgium, where I will be showing my paintings. I'm very excited to be part of it.
Here's a sneak preview of one of the pieces I created for the show, 'The Widow Maker':

That's Life! Exhibition - The End

Last week saw the end of my show 'That's Life!' in the R.A.G.E at Dublin last week. Here are a few pictures from the opening night for those of you who missed it.




The magician who curated the whole show Paul G. Smyth standing back after all his hard work.




The coolest thing about downstairs was an arcade machine that had access to loads of old CPS2 and Neo Geo games. 4 credits for 20 cents! Bargain.
A big thank you to Nicholas and Paul for making this come together and to everyone who came along and showed your support. I had a great time!

Ghosts of Gone Birds

This is my piece I created for the Ghosts of Gone Birds project.
'Black Mamo'

The project has been created and organisted by Ceri Levy, and here's what he has to say about it:
'We’ll be creating a series of Ghost Spaces up and down the country to house our creative collection of Gone Birds. We’ve now got over 80 artists, writers and musicians contributing work to the project. Each one of them has adopted an extinct species and breathed life back into it thru their creative talents'

The first exhibition kicks off in Liverpool School of Art & Design with another following in London later on.
