Still amazed at the response all the correspondence I have received regarding the new prints. Thank you again to everyone, and to answer the most asked question; my favorite is Twiggy!!

My new Diamond Dust Prints officially titled: Twiggy, Blondie and Kate have been officially released as part of my publishers huge exhibition in Birmingham. Unfortunately I could not make it as I was celebrating my Ruth’s birthday on Miami beach!

However by all accounts they went down a storm I am amazed and humbled at how well this work is being received but it looks like the editions of 195 will sell out quickly! So a huge thank you to all the galleries and customers for all their continued support.

The prints have been released nationwide and galleries will be receiving copies this week, to find your nearest gallery please follow this link

I have a number of these prints available for sale through my own shop please get in touch any time with any queries regarding the new prints.

Amazing exhibition of my work in Hong Kong this month if you get a chance to see it please get in touch to let me know your thoughts as I unfortunately wont get out there to see it for myself!!

As some of you know I have been working on a collaborative project with my good friend the photographer Marc Lilius for while now. Our new website has been launched this month  and the reaction to the work so far has been fantastic.

Thank you so much to every one who came down to Castle Galleries in Reading on Thursday night. I had a great time, the prize draw for the Pencil sketch had attracted a lot of interest and the gallery looked fantastic. At the end of the night I picked the winner so congratulations to Kate and her boyfriend who walked away with the framed sketch of Marilyn.
