I wonder if he’s single and essentially turning every train he manages into his own private Tinder? (Chances are someone on the train will be into what he’s describing right? )

I think I need some context here .. is it “this is your cheeky, chunky, chirpy train manager speaking …” or “I’m cheeky … next stop Milton Keynes”.

Glitch — my first scrollable immersive installation.
Inspired by the surrealists as social hackers.
Huge thanks to The Writers’ Mark for curating The Leonora Banquet at Brighton Fringe, and to The Regency Town House for hosting.

I realised this a year or so ago. But thanks to a gazillion IFTTT thingies it was full of of a several years worth of downloads, tweets and receipts merrily saving themselves away.

Like a haunted box room I’d completely forgotten about.

Can I continue to keep my design and art practice separate?
They're the same thing right?
So why do they belong in different parts of my brain?

The creativity from my art practice feeds my commercial work ... which itself pays for time for me to play.

"It turns out that not everyone’s cut out to wait in a queue to sit with virtual Marina Abramović. Not even Marina Abramović."

I Made a Video Game of “The Artist Is Present.” Marina Abramović Couldn’t Sit Through It.

What seemed at first like a simple game about waiting turned into a study in design focused on time, endurance, and audience experience.

Collabbed on a zine at my monthly digital storytelling night.

2 hours absolute chaos.

Would I have done it alone? Nope. Would I do it again? Immediately.

Collaboration is weird. Completely worth it.

The power of three …

Mixed media inks, acrylics and more

- - - - - - #Sketchbook #acrylicpainting #artist #art #artistsoninstagram #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #acrylicpaint #collage #intuitiveart

A vivid, emotionally charged painting of three figures standing close together against a chaotic, multicolored background of purples, reds, yellows, and blues. The figures are rendered in a loose, expressive style with visible brushstrokes and layered textures. The central figure, dressed in bright orange, stares forward with a solemn expression. The figure on the left has long dark hair and streaks of black and orange across their face, while the figure on the right appears ghostly, with distorted features and multicolored smudges, creating a haunting, almost mask-like appearance.

A close-up of the figure on the left side of the painting. This person has long dark hair partially obscuring their face. The skin is painted in shades of orange, yellow, and red, with black lines dripping down like tears or ink. Their expression is tense and shadowed, evoking sadness or discomfort.

A close-up of the central figure, who has short hair and wears a vivid orange garment. Their expression is serious and direct, with large dark eyes and facial features marked by thick lines and rough textures. The backdrop continues the energetic, swirling strokes seen in the full image.

A close-up of the rightmost figure, whose face is heavily abstracted and distorted. The features are overlaid with scribbles and patches of pale white, green, purple, and black, giving the impression of a face that is partially erased or rewritten. The eyes are hollow, and the mouth is open, suggesting distress or transformation.
