The showing will take place at the Adelphi in Leeds on the 26th May 2013. The prints will be available at the screening first, and then any remaining prints will be released online afterwards.
This is a 4 colour screen print, limited to an edition of 80, the size is A2 and the cost is £30 GBP.
The print is officially licensed by Film4 and producer of Trainspotting Andrew Macdonald.

Gallery 1988 Official Bad Robot show.

I have a piece in the upcoming Bad Robot show at Gallery 1988. Opening this friday, the official Bad Robot Experience is a show of art inspired by JJ Abrams body of work.

I went for a Cloverfield inspired piece, i figured there would be a fair few LOST pieces so wanted to do something different to that. And that unforgettable moment when the statue of Liberty head flies through the streets of New York just sticks in my head! Excellent.

These will be available at the show from friday in an edition of 30 for $35. And will be available on the G1988 website shop shortly after i’d imagine. As this is JJ Abrams approved a portion of the profits will go to charity.

Newest piece of work for EMI’s production music house KPM.
Had a lot of fun doing this one for their latest offering, the Indie Unplugged album.
