Projects
  • Always shooting a Swish 25/11/2020
    Always shooting a Swish 25/11/2020Another revision of the 'Swish' series. Just creating dynamic 3D lettering on the drawing board. Giving it raw flava and style. Need to do a larger piece on a wall soon!
  • Jiu Jitsu Rev1,17/11/2020
    Jiu Jitsu Rev1,17/11/2020Construct an architecture of Jiu Jitsu with the flow of Graffiti. The flying drone of 'Jiu' is ready to steal the ground of ashi garami, x-guard and inverted roll. AI is here!
  • Higher plane
    Higher planeWhen we train to level up we need to visualise our intentions, from the black canvas to the basketball court. Blind faith like the Chase and Status tune. Making moves is the way forward to a higher plane, no need to be restricted from the past or even future. The present is where we need to be.
  • 3 Architectural follies and balancing stones
    3 Architectural follies and balancing stones4 drawings of surreal spaces set in Hven, Sweden. Using my favourite technical pen the Rotring Isograph 0.10.
  • Silver Samurai study in my style
    Silver Samurai study in my styleThis is a drawing of a powerful villain in the X-Men universe. I saw this iconic last page in X-Men #21 back in 1993. Jim Lee drawings had such an effect on me growing up, the way he captured the action, detail and movement.
  • Graffiti Series 2020
    Graffiti Series 2020These are fun digital drawings done on Adobe Photoshop, I have always love the Graffiti on the walls of London growing up. These are here to test different hand styles and get better at it. May the process of iteration continue, I will add more before the year is over. ✍️⏰
