About me
I am a passionate creative, currently working freelance, across a wide range of mediums and projects. I have a lot of experience working in independent music culture as well as over 15 years experience creating mural and graffiti art. My creative style is a combination of my skills in different areas, which have developed and influenced each other over time. I am always looking for new and exciting projects to work on as well as connecting with other creative individuals.
Projects
  • Geordie Shore - Tyne Bridge Mural
    Geordie Shore - Tyne Bridge MuralMural artwork designed and painted onto the front of the Geordie Shore house as featured in the series on MTV.
