Wonderpops make premium artisan Pops handmade with real fruit. The company is based in The Heights, Texas. They were looking for an eye catching doodle illustration to wrap around one of their carts and popsicle wrapper packaging. We worked together to come up with an eye-catching design that included homages to them being a women owned business, their fresh products and their location. The result was a detailed illustrated piece that used the brands colors and fulfilled the ask of an eye-catching piece.

Pyvot Socks approached me to work on a character based doodle for their signature sock product. As part of their on going Artist Series I was flattered to be included in the line up. I asked for samples of their socks and they obliged. When the sample socks arrived I could see the quality and instantly emailed them to say I was in. We worked with a limited color palette, in my signature character doodle style to create these beautiful socks. Availability is limited and they are exclusive at Pyvot. These artist series socks won’t be around for ever.

Pyvot were a great brand to work with. They gave me a lot of creative freedom, helping me to understand the process and timing. They sent me many images and samples along the way. This was so much fun I think we’ll be doing it agin soon. Stay tuned for more.

Black Pig Brewery in Switzerland reached out to me to collaborate on some beer packaging for their Collabrew series. Working with their creative team I designed a background doodle for the can featuring a collection of beer related characters. The design featured heavy gradients and thick black lines to make the can stand out from the crowd.

The final can is available in Europe, mainly Switzerland. It will be available for a limited time in limited numbers. Black Pig Craft Brewing were great to work with and made this commission effortless. Creatively this project was a lot of fun.

Secret Walls is a brand I have been a fan of for a long time. Based in Los Angeles, they create art battle events that test the creativity and skills of artists, live! They have become known around the globe for their collaborative approach to art and live events. Their roster of artists is truly impressive. So when they asked me to get involved in an art workshop and live art battle I was just a little bit excited.

Myself and 4 other artists designed daily workshops to deliver at Secret Walls HQ. My art workshop was focused on collaboration. Students on the day got to work together on large pieces and design and paint their own skateboard deck. The event was supported by Posca paint markers, which was incredible because I am a big fan of their products. My workshop went well and I had a brilliant time. So many great artists attended and the crew at Secret Walls were very welcoming and professional.

The day also involved an interview and photo shoot, which was a little daunting. I have done several in the past but this one felt special. I met with the other artists and made new friends. I hope I inspired the attendees and showed that working together can create magic. At the end of the week all of the artists descended on Secret Walls HQ to battle on two large walls infront of a live audience of around 300. I was grouped with GoopMassa, Angelonce, Artizinfinite and Jacob, who I selected to attend the battle from the workshop day. We battled against the talented Dreyfus, Upendo, MrBBaby and Jesseart. It was a long sweaty battle but my team prevailed with the win!

It was a great experience, with amazing people and I met some awesome new artists too. If you don’t know Secret Walls, check them out – they do great things. Highlights of the event can be found here – https://uniballco.com/collections/posca-x-secret-walls

Art In Rug offers high-quality Persian rugs with exceptional artistic designs. The rugs are high quality, unique and limited editions in the true sense of the phrase; they make one of a kind rugs. That means there is only one rug in the world with this design on it. That idea was pretty appealing to me. They have created rugs for some really successful artists and their product is very unique. When they asked me to be a part of the brand I jumped at the chance. Interested in picking up the piece?
