n January of this year I was commissioned by The Hickman in Whitechapel to exhibit several pieces from my Portrait of Heroes collection. I teamed up with Art Acumen, and one of the UK’s leading property management companies: Great Portland Estates (www.gpe.co.uk) to bring the exhibition to life. I created two original paintings for The Hickman, along with five limited edition prints. All of which have now been framed and are displayed in their shared working space.

The Rich Enough to be Batman series has provided me with endless enjoyment creating them, but occasionally I want to push myself further and see what's possible, so I once again embarked on a discovery to collaborate with an artist who I felt could do something interesting together with. 

Earlier this year I was contacted Memoirs by Chard (aka Lanré Lennox) asking if I'd like to be interviewed and talk about my work.

What started with a casual chat on the internet turned out to be quite an interview. Chard teamed up with contributing editor, Rachel Hart. Between the two of them they managed dissect my ramblings over an hour long Zoom call interview into 8 pages of written content.

I was commissioned last year to produce artwork for the very last published versions of 1984, Animal Farm, Homage to Catalonia and Down and Out in Paris and London) with new covers reimagined by creative Director Suzanne Dean and with the artwork and design by myself.

This is Noah.

Noah has hydrocephalus, epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and he has been painting on pieces of cardboard to raise money for the NHS. His Dad, Nathan reached out and asked if I would contribute.

A few months ago I found some time to screenprint on one of Noah’s original cardboard paintings.

This truly is an original collaboration. 

What's truly amazing is how the project went from grassroots to national news in no time. What's even more amazing is Noah managed to secure his debut show filled with all his collaborations at Firstsite Gallery in Colchester.

Today I met with Noah and his family at Firstsite, where I was invited to get a sneak peak at the show and rather nervously also be interviewed on BBC One Show which you can see from the attached video below.
