BESPOKE HAND PAINTED SIGNAGE FOR BUSINESSES, CREATED USING TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND PROCESSES

 
So last week I directed a music video! Thanks to old friends @sugarcaneband for trusting me and sending me down a very interesting rabbit hole creatively to make a video for their track ‘Midlands Girl’. It’s going to be a while in the edit so here are some stills and behind the scenes action from the two days of shooting. . Massive thanks first and foremost to @maxbrilldp for being DOP/camera/producer/hand holder of first time director. Also thanks to @soph.hair.makeup and @pillarpops for hair, makeup and cameo appearances. And thanks also to @jgambledesign for being the hype woman and for set and costume assistance. . #musicvideo #sugarcane #midlandsgirl #firsttime
I was featured in this month’s ‘House to Home’, a regular feature by @sohohome swipe to see my living room looking better than its ever looked. Featuring artwork from @steveespopowers @bestdressedsigns @joecruzstudio @tigersoftheuniverse ceramics by @ellahookway and @palomaproudfoot and quite a bit of my work from over the years. Even Roland who I was dog-sitting at the time made it in, he loves the camera... Link in bio for full feature and interview #sohohome #firsthome
I spent eight days glass gilding and sign painting in Braemar up in the Highlands at the end of February doing a whole load of work for the amazing @thefifearms hotel. One main window for the hotel shop and two for the pub took up most of the job. The designs for these were all drawn up at very short notice, half on site, with a brief to keep things classic. I also gilded the dining room and spa doors as well as painting the backbar mirror for their cocktail bar Elsa’s. The new owners, Hauser and Wirth gallery, have spent four years redeveloping the old hotel site, a true labour of love, the attention to detail is incredible. Very honoured to have my signage now rubbing shoulders with their incredible art collection #gilding #thefifearms #alwayshandpaint #signpainting
#tbt to 2015 with WORK - one of the first reverse glass pieces I made, and the first I sold! To the amazing @lauraleadesign #work #gilding #alwayshandpaint
