This mother and baby portrait is given power through the use of a single colour to highlight the contrast in expressions.

Pixelation and Abstract Graffiti

I love playing with concepts. Aerosol spraypaint is a contiuum, pixels are discrete: so I am trying to mix the two. These pictures are about putting together images and image elements that should not work together.

Colourful Graffiti

I use a number of stencils to create vibrant and colourful pictures and portraits. I love playing with the colours and combining different paints in a single picture.

Traditional Graffiti

I believe art provides commentary on society. Traditional graffiti of slogans painted on walls provides the most raw form of social commentry available to the artist. All my graffiti is based on creating a visually recognisable image, the closest I get to traditional graffiti is through single stencil artworks. These pictures show a strength not available in my other works.
