I’ve updated my Painting Gallery and my Tattoos Gallery with new work I’ve completed over the past few months.

There’s more to come soon as I’m currently working on some exciting new art and tattoo projects, so keep checking and I’ll try and update more frequently on here!

I have added two new galleries to my website:

The Tattoo Archive is there to keep those old tattoo images people like so much

and a page dedicated to the design commissions I’ve taken on

(the ones to which I have the rights to publish on here at least!)

So now my main Tattoos and Paintings galleries should be easier to get through!

I’ve finally updated my gallery! Check out some of my recent work I’ve completed over the last 6 months in the Tattoos Gallery…

Coming in the next few days, updated Paintings gallery…

Earlier this year I was interviewed for a book on the ever-growing world of Roller Derby, “Flat Track Fashion: The Roller Derby Look Book” by Ellen Parnavelas (author of the popular blog http://secretdiaryofarookierollergirl.wordpress.com.), which is being published by Bloomsbury Publishing, due for release in March 2012.

I’ve spent the past few months working on a series of paintings based on my favourite myths and legends, and I’ll be uploading them onto here soon. I was gearing up to showcase them at an exhibition in Clerkenwell from 1st February, but as of today the exhibition has been postponed, so I can stick them up here instead. I will produce a maximum of 10 signed and numbered prints of each image, and they will be available to order soon.

I will keep everyone updated about the rearranged exhibition, so keep an eye out!

So there were quite a few good write-ups for the exhibition at Stolen Space in December…. here’s some links to the best of them.
