Studio 73 Brixton now stocks Crystal Palace art prints
I am now pleased to announce that the wonderful Studio 73 now sells some of my Crystal Palace-themed giclée prints in their lively gallery in Brixton Village.

Definitely worth popping into see all the work there (including screen prints and original paintings too). You’ll probably even meet the friendly owner Adrian.
This new variation on the Subway Sphinxes is only available at Studio 73, currently.

I made a little film/slide show thing too (with some hastily created beats I put together using GarageBand. Channeling some bargain basement Chemical Brothers, I think!). Enjoy.
Time-lapse clips of recent paintings
Market
Time-lapse footage showing the creation of 'Market'. Painted in 2018 on a wooden panel, measuring 40cm x 40cm, in acrylics. The painting shows a view of Surrey Street Market, in Croydon, Surrey, on the edge of south London.
People
Time-lapse footage showing the creation of ‘People’. Also painted in 2018 on a wooden panel, measuring 40.1cm x 40.8cm, in acrylics. The painting shows a view of Surrey Street Market, in Croydon, Surrey, on the edge of south London (but with fewer vegetables than the other work).
Exhibition With Studio Upstairs – Opening

The opening evening of my 'Featured Artist' exhibition at the Studio Upstairs gallery in Croydon went well, with a good attendance and some impressive live music from 'Five Minutes Later'.
Not only did I have some selected pieces at the front of the gallery, but I managed to take over the window, too, with a range of artworks, cushions, prints and other merchandise tastefully arranged by the gallery. I've attached here some photos from Studio Upstairs, and used with permission, along with links to some video that they shot on the night. The work is available to view and buy until late August, Monday to Friday, 10am to 5.00pm at 2-4 Park Street, Croydon, CR0 1YE.

Buses on Film
To help promote the forthcoming auction of all the TFL Year of The Bus sculptures for charity, I've created a couple of enhanced 'slide shows' (with a bit of new footage) for each of my vehicles.
