A quick 'hello' if you've recently connected with me on Facebook. I'm a Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in Bangor, Northern Ireland. I create colourful, iconic artwork for clients all over the World. I founded my studio (Hand Drawn Creative) in 2009 and haven't looked back. The diary is filling up nicely for Autumn and I have few speaking engagements coming up too. I'll be appearing at https://artisatrade.com/ on 6 September in Belfast. Please come and say hi if you're in the area. Cheers!

We’re very much part of Aspects literary festival this year. So if you’d like to hear the story behind the world’s most ostentatious pop-up book, I’ll give you the whole lowdown, along with our good friend Andi Jarvis in September. Find out how a suburban Bangor Dad somehow ended up illustrating an enormous popup book all about the art-deco Hollywood home of Allee Willis - an acclaimed songwriter, Artist and friend of the stars. The New York Times called her “The most famous woman you’ve never heard of!”

This talk’s got it all…
• art deco architecture!
• mid century modern interior design!
• multiple celebrity endorsements from likes of Cyndi Lauper, Elvira Mistress of the Dark AND Rupaul!
• the stories behind some of the most famous songs ever written!

Somehow, we’ll fit this all into a one hour conversation along with a slideshow that’ll knock you for six. Intrigued? Come join us for an atomic kitsch, California fever dream that will leave you wanting more. It’s like nothing the Aspects Festival has ever experienced before. And to be honest… they might never let us back!

Lots of fun playing with this clean and bright sounding Hughes & Kettner amp. My brother liberated it and a few other amps from being mercilessly crushed at a local recycling centre
