I’ve made a new collage for Trish Keenan. It’s her birthday today.

‘Poem of Dead Song’ is from the Extended Play Two 12″ from 2000.

I’m delighted that I was able to create artwork for some exciting new cassette releases this Autumn.

First up Ian Wade’s Blood Everywhere album is called Perseverance and is released in October as a limited cassette with The Dark Outside

You will be able to own Swansea Sound’s first single called ‘Angry Girl’ ON TAPE! on 17th October 2020.

In these uncertain times spring is still opening its buds and curling its leaves to the sun and if you’re lucky the fragrance of wild garlic in the hedgerows near will intoxicate. Mmm lovely.

Here are some new collage work that I’m really happy that Bright Field are using for their visual output.

I’ve been making collage work this year and my friend Jude Rogers asked me to make some work to help promote her Bright Field events that she’s seasonally curating at The Globe in Hay on Wye. They are being used on the social media for Bright Field and the Summer/Autumn event in September saw the collages projected on the interior of The Globe while the artists were performing. It was lovely,

Here are a couple from the end of Summer 2019
