I have worked on various projects with Reading Museum between 2005 and the current date.Illustrations for 'Reading At War' Exhibition 2014.Commissioned to paint murals for the new café at Reading Museum, which opened in 2012.Commissioned to design logo for new café at Reading Museum.Co-curated an exhibition with Reading Museum's exhibitions officer, entitled ‘The Life and Times of Paddington Bear’ about Paddington Bear and his creator Michael Bond who lived in Reading as a child. Painted mural for same. A very successful exhibition running from March 2010 – July 2010.Co-curated an exhibition with punk artist Johnny Deluxe entitled ‘Rip It Up – Reading and the Punk Rock Revolution’ which started with a collection of my photographs from the Punk era and some of Johnny’s 100 Punks artworks, but was essentially a ‘walk-in-scrapbook’ of the era, with 80% of the content contributed by the community of Reading. A very popular exhibition, with visitors from all over the U.K. It ran from July 2007 – October 2007.

I have written and illustrated five picture books for children, published by Boxer Books www.boxerbooks.com and am currently developing new ideas.Chicky Chicky Chook Chook, Monkey Monkey Monkey, Spooky Spooky Spooky, Bunny Bunny Catkin and When When When Will It Be Christmas are known not only for the quirky and original illustrations, but the writing style, which includes onomatopoeia, rhythm, rhyme, repetition and alliteration. This means that they fit well with the school literacy curriculum and has led to me developing popular workshops for schools and libraries.My books have been shortlisted for the ‘Read It Again’ Award 2008, the Norfolk Libraries Picture Book Award 2009, the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2010 and most recently the V&A Illustration Awards 2012.They are published in the U.K. the United States, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia and are available in all bookstores and online retailers such as Amazon.I currently have books under consideration with Boxer Books and other publishers and hope to work on many more or perhaps illustrate for another author.The monkey character from Monkey Monkey Monkey is the face of the Little Explorers library loan scheme for the Under 5s, at the Wokingham, Reading and East Sussex groups of libraries. Several other authorities are currently considering the scheme. I designed certificates, cards to be stamped, posters and colouring sheets for the scheme and took part in the launch in 2011.I wrote a story for the CBeebies television programme Driver Dan’s Story Train, broadcast in 2012 - and hope to write for the next series too.I regularly visit schools and libraries to talk about my work and give workshops.

I set up my own business as a sole trader, specializing in ‘hand-painted interiors’ including murals, trompe l’oeil and faux paint effects. Commissions include commercial properties, hotels, shops, museums, company foyers etc. as well as many in private properties, specializing in children’s rooms/spaces.Worked both in the U.K. and abroad.Work appeared in several interiors magazines and I advertised in World of Interiors magazine.

Set up my own business, in partnership, specializing in Commercial and Industrial Photography, converting a large barn into a photographic and graphic design studio. The photographic and graphic design companies still exist, but I am no longer a partner. Clients included Shell, World Wildlife Fund, Ford, Citroen, AA and many others via a variety of advertising agencies. Work appeared in national magazines, catalogues, points of sale literature, brochures, etc.
