Put A Egg On It is made and created by R&S Media."

I illustrated 5 articles within issue 4. To see more information or to buy a copy of Put An Egg On It please visit their website HERE.

Artist In Residence

As an artist in residence I worked at St. Peter's School in Southbourne, working with a different group of year 9 students everyday for 4 days. each day Started with an introduction to my own work, followed by demonstrations on possible ways to approach drawing. The days then varied in how they unfolded with a variety of different activities involving collaboration and the development of individual bodies of work. Ultimately I wanted to encourage a fearless approach to image making. To see a full break down of each day please have a look HERE.
