Last February, I took this shot inside the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói (Modern Art Museum) in Niterói in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
I have alwas been facinated by Oscar Niemeyer’s iconic style so a day trip across Guanabara Bay was a pleasant respite from the mania of the carnival that was the main reason for our stop off here during our exploration of South America.

It has always amused me when people fail to notice warnings particuarly in a world surrounded in health & safety bureaucracy. Signs and railings litter our roads & paths, yet people still somehow manage to navigate themselves into situations of peril. Maybe we should be rid of all the street litter and let natural selection run its course?
I used a combination of hand drawing and Adobe Photoshop to create this image.
An incredible photographer inspired this piece of work.
Gemma Booth’s work (in particular her fashion shots) has a warm, summery feel that reminds me of the hazy Californian sunshine. Her client list includes the likes of Paul Smith, i-D, Roxy & American Eagle.

Now that my main site is up and running and will be updated regularly with new illustrations, my blog can assume the function that it was set out for. That is a journal of not only work in progress, but also inspiration, sketches & photos that all contribute one way or another.
I kick off with this image I caught on the way home from a balmy August evening in London.
A few days ago, the Spanish sneaker-art blog sneakersole featured my Puma Pile illustration.
Thanks for the love guys.
Well you can’t throw a cricket ball for them in London’s Victoria Park. For the time being the fixed gear fad is here to stay and who am I to argue, they do look great.
