a text installation piece I made at the building where my new studio is 💖
[id: photo of a turquoise blue wall covered in cut-out letters of many colours and patterns. The text reads, "the truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free — Maya Angelou". In front of the wall is a small wooden table and a cream-coloured birdcage, both of which have fallen over and been left open as a physical symbol of freedom (this element was added by another artist, not me). /End id]
On this historic day, May 1st, we commemorate the birth of the United Kingdom. It was on this date in 1707 that the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland merged to form Great Britain. This union marked the beginning of a remarkable journey of unity, diversity, and shared identity.
Over the years, the UK has evolved, embracing the Kingdom of Ireland in 1801, followed by the establishment of the Province of Northern Ireland in 1922. As we mark this special occasion, let us reflect on the values of unity, resilience, and inclusivity that define us as a nation. Happy birthday, United Kingdom!
Sketching with Cardiff Museum Drawing Group today at National Museum Cardiff. I chose the ‘Jenkin’s’ Vase today to sketch. Beautiful piece of art and pretty challenging to capture it.
Here's a section I did for the animated short "Little Princess Daisy" for the Cardiff QuickDraw 48 hour animation challenge. I worked alongside a bunch of other awesome artists and animators. I had lots of fun! Go check out the full short film here:

And finally, here's some concept sketches I did while we were all in our planning phases. I really wanted Daisy to interact with some small critters haha! (apologies for the shitty phone quality)
