Studio settings in the former HQ building of The Guardian newspaper in Farringdon, where I spent just over a year building the body of work for my current #NoFaceLikePhone exhibition at DigitasLBi. The growth as an artist that took shape here was a key building block to finding my personal work flow and refining my aesthetic even more. It was a year of not knowing what was gonna come from it but knowing I was building something of value, from an honest place, staying true to the vision I sort of had but didn’t, but then it worked out cos I believed in it, if that makes sense…so in a nutshell, get out your comfort zones, find your process, explore ideas and share your greatness by any means #PushItNeverStop
Hope you had a lovely Xmas and your bellies are packed out for the entire week…
Thought i’d share some images so far from the #NoFaceLikePhone exhibition currently on a DigitasLBi up in Brick Lane…
Have to say i’m appreciating the space even more as time goes on, I mean it oozes character, great mesh-like fencing, nice floor separation, the lighting could be a touch better but hey, it aint a gallery, and feel the main ‘chill out’ area with colour co-ordinated, moveable sofa blocks are mad comfy-ish…great for in-depth, mellowed to-the-max convos, which i’ve found enjoyable…
So the space will remain open to visit this week (normal working hours/times of 9am-5pm), closed over NY weekend, then back to normal from 3rd January til 22nd, i’ll be down every weekend 12-6pm from then too, so feel free to whizz over and say ello 🙂
During the last year, I became an artist in residence in the old Guardian building down Farringdon (previous base for both The Guardian and The Observer papers), where I was able to produce a solid body of work with the intention of having a solo show by the end of my time there…
So finally, after keeping it all hush hush for so long, happy to announce the show title #NoFaceLikePhone and launch date, 20th October, and even more happy to say, it’s all independent or ‘Pindependent’ (like that) with no gallery backing this time around, nothing against that, just wanted to take more control with things so I can give you more of my vision, exactly the way I like.…

So yes, I decided I had to visit Tokyo, Japan this year as it was on the hit list, plus I was needing a break from the same ol’ same ol’ in London, it gets like that sometimes, you just gotta break the pattern to fuel some fresh inspiration.
Expect a crazy, cool blog piece on this one…feel free to keep up to date on my Instagram where i’ll be uploading pics from my visit daily, if not, hold tight for the blog piece in about two weeks…until then, SAYONARA!…
