Exhibit A
Acrylic 28cm x 23cm (framed)
In our modern world, have we become passive consumers who merely read about art and culture, rather than active participants who step up to play, create, and experience it first-hand?

Exhibit B
Ink and Acrylic 23cm x 28cm (framed)
In an era where music is infinitely recorded, streamed, and trapped behind digital screens, have we forgotten the beautiful, fragile magic of a sound created in the moment, meant to float away?

The Hanging
Ink and Acrylic 28cm x 23cm (framed)
In a digital age where media is instantly downloaded, streamed, or dismissed with a swipe, have we lost touch with the physical labour, time, and human collaboration required to bring art into the light?

Mural
Ink and Acrylic 23cm x 28cm (framed)
In a digital culture that prizes instant, clean, and automated perfection, will we still find value in the chaotic, physical, and deeply personal labour of making art by hand?

- This minimalist sketch portrays a solitary, silhouetted human figure wearing a fedora hat while seated on a simple block. The figure is positioned to the left, quietly reading an open book that mirrors the stark, black-and-white style of the overall drawing. To the right, a vibrant orange saxophone sits atop a separate pedestal labelled "SAX," creating a stark visual contrast that highlights the instrument as an object of display and contemplation.
- This minimalist sketch features a black-silhouetted figure wearing a fedora hat, seen from behind, sitting on the ground. Looming directly over the figure is a large, detailed line drawing of a saxophone. Emerging upward from the bell of the instrument is a single, vibrant orange balloon on a string, providing the only pop of bright colour against the stark black and white ink style.
- This minimalist ink sketch depicts two black-silhouetted figures working together to unroll a large, horizontal canvas. On the left, one figure stands near the top of a bright red A-frame ladder, pinning or holding the top corner of the paper. On the right, a second figure standing on the ground reaches upward to support the bottom corner as the scroll unfurls, revealing a detailed line drawing of a saxophone resting inside the rolled section.
- This minimalist ink sketch shows a black-silhouetted figure standing near the top of a tall ladder, actively coloring a large saxophone. Using a small brush, the figure is painting the lower half and the bow of the detailed line-drawn instrument with a vibrant red paint. A paint bucket sits on the ground to the left with spilled red paint pooling around it, while red droplets and splatters trail down the rungs of the ladder and onto the floor.
Impossible Worlds
This collection of minimalist ink drawings invites viewers into a playful exploration of the impossible and the unexpected. Heavily inspired by Escher’s clean geometry and Lowry’s human landscapes, the artwork balances stark monochrome structure with surreal moments of humour and quiet jeopardy. In every scene, a hidden busker plays out a personal rhythm within meticulous architectural spaces, offering a whimsical, thought-provoking take on the wider world through a pen.
These are all available as giclée prints, or if you would like to add the original to your persona collection, please contact me directly.

- Monochrome ink illustration of an impossible architectural structure featuring monumental columns and a grand central archway that defies perspective. A wide, symmetrical staircase sweeps down from the base, bustling with tiny, silhouetted characters and playful children. Along the flat top ledge of the monumental portal, a row of potted plants and trailing vines grow alongside a small silhouetted figure. Tucked away under one of the small brick arches in the background, a lone, hidden busker plays music for the tiny passing citizens
- Monochrome ink illustration featuring a large, impossible rectangular frame situated in a rolling landscape, framed by oversized detailed flowers in the foreground. An impossible stone bridge arches out from inside the frame, with silhouetted figures walking across it and along a path stretching into distant hills. At the top of the structure, a small figure climbs a ladder to tend to potted plants on a railed balcony, while to the right, a lone saxophonist stands playing beneath the drooping branches of a willow tree.
- Monochrome ink illustration depicting an impossible rope suspension bridge stretched between two tall wooden masts with circular observation platforms. The bridge's planks impossibly twist and invert their perspective halfway across, causing a silhouetted figure on the right to hang completely upside down, losing their hat. Other tiny silhouetted characters explore the structure, climbing curved ladders or walking along the ground below, while a hidden busker plays a saxophone near the base of the left mast.
- Monochrome ink illustration of an impossible architectural structure with an infinite Penrose staircase looping seamlessly into its roof. Tiny silhouetted figures explore the monument, including a person looking through a telescope at a night sky filled with a crescent moon and a UFO, while an artist paints on an easel in the foreground. Beneath a large stone archway, citizens enjoy a leisurely picnic on the lawn while a hidden busker stands to the right, playing a saxophone into the night air.
- Monochrome ink illustration of an impossible playground structure featuring a central mast that pierces through a floating torus and a spiked peak. A long rope ladder stretches impossibly from the top ring down to a geometric cube frame on the ground, where a tiny silhouetted character hangs from monkey bars inside. Other small figures climb, swing, and balance throughout the surreal climbing frame, while a hidden busker stands tucked inside the leftmost corner of the wooden cube, playing a saxophone.

Sax-ology
This is a quirky, every growing collection of pieces centred around the saxophone. Expect word-play, surrealism, historical comment and just about anything else you can think of. These truly are visual improvisations, straight from my imagination.

Trinity
- An ink and acrylic illustration depicting Santa's log cabin workshop nested within a dense pine forest using impossible geometry. The cabin's structure seamlessly splits open into three separate vertical panes between towering brown tree trunks, revealing small silhouetted elves painting snowmen skittles on a workbench to the left and crafting teddy bears on the right. In the central section, a small worker pushes a bright red toy cart through the snowy doorway under a sign reading "WORKSHOP." To the far right, a cheerful snowman wearing a red hat and scarf stands in the snow beside a winding track of tiny footprints.
- An ink and acrylic illustration of a detailed black-and-white knit Christmas stocking packed with holiday surprises against a plain white background. The stocking features intricate Fair Isle patterns including white snowflakes and geometric bands with a fluffy white faux-fur trim along the top opening. Tucked inside the stocking is a golden-yellow saxophone with its neck and mouthpiece curving elegantly outward to the right, a small wrapped red gift box with a silver bow, and a red-and-white striped candy cane poking out from the trim.
- An ink and acrylic illustration showing a formal dinner place setting featuring two large, vibrant Christmas crackers crossed in an "X" shape over a central white plate. On the left sits a detailed silver fork, and on the right stands a matching silver dinner knife. The cracker running from top-left to bottom-right is colored bright yellow, while the cracker crossing over it from top-right to bottom-left is bright red. Both crackers feature white decorative bands printed with black musical sheet music bars and notes, and the outer edges of the sketch are grounded with heavy black ink cross-hatching shadows.
- A vibrant, textured painting of a large Christmas tree standing on a snowy hilltop beneath a starry night sky with a full moon. The tree is decorated with bold red baubles and white snow or lights, with a background featuring shades of deep midnight blue, green auroras, and painterly white clouds. On the heavily textured snowbank at the base, a tiny pair of bright red boots stands next to a small, colourful woolly bobble hat, with a trail of tiny black footprints leading away across the snow.
- An ink and acrylic illustration showing tiny silhouetted characters installing large, 3D golden letters to spell out "NOEL" in a gallery room. The letter "N" is fixed to the wall, while a small saxophonist leans inside the counter-space of the letter "O," playing their instrument. In the center, two figures work together on a ladder to hoist up the letter "E," while the final letter "L" rests on the floor to the far right. On the left side of the room, a tangle of festive tinsel overflows from a bucket next to an impossible geometric crate spilling a string of red Christmas lights.
- An ink and acrylic illustration of an impossible geometric gift box against a plain white background. The gift is constructed as an impossible Necker cube out of open wooden frame beams, where the interlocking front and back planes defy normal physical perspective. A long, vibrant green ribbon wraps seamlessly through and around the paradoxical structure, tied at the top with a sprig of green holly and red berries. A small gift tag swings from a cord on the right side, inscribed with the handwritten message "WITH LOVE xxx."
- An ink and acrylic illustration of an impossible Christmas tree growing in a potted planter against a plain white background. The trunk of the small tree supports a crown shaped like a large, geometric Penrose triangle. Vibrant green pine needles and branch tips sprout directly out of the impossible three-dimensional wooden frame, which is decorated with hanging red spherical baubles. The cross-hatched pot sits on bare roots, with a single fallen pine sprig resting on the ground below.
- An ink and acrylic illustration titled "Trinity," depicting an impossible, surreal architectural structure shaped like the letter "A" or a stylized evergreen tree. The structure blends a central peak colored in soft green and topped with a golden Christmas star with sweeping white arches, tunnels, and looping Penrose-style staircases. Two large woodwind instruments with gold keys—a tenor saxophone on the left and a straight soprano saxophone on the right—are integrated directly into the foundation of the impossible arches, framed by two heavily textured green pine trees decorated with faint festive fairy lights.
