Hi Bio Show-Off CV Inspa Play The Pun Shop
I am an artist illustrator who lives in London just a hop, skip, and jump away from Westminster. I studied a BA at Kingston University and an MFA at Newcastle University. I've been panned by The Guardian, The Telegraph and Time Out Magazine in various exhibitions. My work has been called "unacceptably bad", "astoundingly basic", and "ridiculous", but I'm still doing it. I've also been published by The Morning Star and am a cartoonist and commentator at Europinion. Click the images below to open galleries showing my work...

Welcome to the Madhouse that is Number 10

Unless you're Boris Johnson
Whilst on my MFA, I was incensed that Boris Johnson had partied the days away during Lockdown, so I threw my own party in his dishonour. The exhibition was described by The Culture Vulture, a local North East Art publisher as "the exhibition highlight"
Boris is contained
Can't be too careful after the fixed penalty notices
This Party's Legal
Don't worry, you're not breaking any Covid rules and even if you were, the prime minister didn't care.

GB News has no culture

Four Tiers for Boris
The chronic Conservative mismanagement of the Covid pandemic is plain for all to see!

We've Heart It All Before
It was very repetitive in the Covid lockdown
It's not Rocket Science
During Covid, Johnson didn't half ramble on about nothing. Just let Chris Whitty speak man!

alt= A caricature of a man in a suit, resembling Rishi Sunak, is shown next to the altered 'L badLooks' logo against a red background. The original logo, manipulated from the Ladbrokes branding, cleverly hints at his aide's potentially illegal bet with a betting company.
BadLooks
Sunak doesn't half know how to look bad during his own election campaign, as a close aide of his is found to have placed a bet on when an election would be. I'm not betting on either of their futures.
