My profile went up on Gourmandizing London today.
We’ve been taking recipes from the public in South London and translating them into murals. One of the best things I’ve done, even if there were a few points in the winter where I thought I might lose my fingers to frostbite. 
We’re going to be at Hyperlink Festival at the Tate next week running a workshop so if anyone happens to be around I’ll be attempting to act like a professional for a day.

Selection of photos from Facebook and Twitter of the Backscratchers launch on Wednesday night.

For some reason I decided to go with the Fonz stance for my photo which I’m regretting hugely now.

So this evening was the launch of The Backscratchers. I was asked to produce a large scale painting for the occasion. Never one to miss an opportunity to paint big I agreed and spent tonight doing this. Amazing evening, met some great people and drank slightly too much free Gin once I’d finished my work.

Get on the website and get involved.

I always wanted to work in an office when I was younger and I feel like this would be the reality.
