Dante meets the Crow



This is a response to the very beginning of the Divine Comedy, when Dante enters hell. It was made earlier in the year but I've been adding some new bits to it. The music is Maid of Orleans by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

Kennington Park Nature Trail Opening


The Nature Trail in Kennington Park is now officially open!
The signage was unveiled by the Mayor of Lambeth on the 31st October,
with a party in the park to celebrate.
I worked on the design and illustration on the signage with Groundwork London. More information, and a downloadable activity pack are available on the Lambeth Website here.

A Russian Affair

Elephant and Castle library seems to have gone a bit Soviet and I couldn't resist a little Chekhov break from Dante's vast Inferno. Especially as the cover is so nice. Described on the back as stories of 'lost love, love at the wrong time and love that can never be.'

Miroslaw Balka

Miroslaw Balka in the turbine hall at Tate Modern.

National Lottery Graphics

Plasma screen graphics for the National Lottery show on BBC One. These were created a while back with Cath Elliott, and re-used last week for the Bon Jovi performance. The footage was shot on the Westway in London and near Hammersmith Bridge. There are also lots of photos of the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle, which is now almost completely derelict. The full performance can be viewed on YouTube here

Dante

This is amazing. It's amazing, and it's 600 years old, incredible. I'm currently skipping about between heaven and purgatory...
