Solutions.
I find creative answers to questions.
I have: Designed logos for bands, peace gardens and sound systems, taught photography to children in rural Indian, created artworks for albums and remixes, designed paintball boxes, made hundreds of flyers and posters, taught people to make their own cameras, painted murals in hospitals and bars in Thailand, sold handmade teeshirts on market stalls, redecorated a club for music nights, organised numerous successful arts events, awards and auctions, facilitated talks, fashion shows and live art demos and curated over 100 exhibitions.
Some examples are included in this page.

Solution Sound System Logo & Banner.
In 2017 Mark (Solution) Anderson asked me to redesign London based Solution Sound’s Logo using classic reggae stylistic elements . I hand painted each dancer and built the ‘stacks’ of speakers using individual drawings. It is seen (above) at Notting Hill Carnival and on their website.
Mindfool Album Cover.
This sleeve was created for DJ Rich Parker in 2021.
Kumeu Arts.
This video shows the early brand identity for the Kumeu Arts Awards. Over the last five years I have continued to develop the awards. It is one of many responsibilities in my current role as manager at Kumeu Arts.

Profiler Remix Design.
The artwork used here for music producer ‘Profiler’ has been used in many ways previously including on handprinted teeshirts and canvases. The two images of the man dancing was shot in Salvador (Brazil) during Carnival in 2015.
I find innovative ways to approach arts education.
I am a trained Secondary art teacher and I have taught art in many capacities. I have a wealth of experience and resources I can share with you.
One particular area of interest for me is teaching kids to draw and how to beat the ‘I Can’t Draw Syndrome’. I have written a research paper on the topic.
Ace Paintballs Box Design.
I photographed paintballers to create a series of playing cards for this box design. The Ace, King and Queen were different varieties of paintball.
Hastings Peace Garden Logo.
I designed this logo a long time ago when the The Hastings Peace Garden was established. The logo was used on early promotional material and made in metal and placed on the gates. The Peace Garden still exists in Alexandra Park, Hastings (UK) and remains a beautiful spot.
