Painting a chair for Leon...


I'm going to be painting a chair for the new Leon in Old Compton Street (opening February 2011)... along with some other artists... Then we will have our photos taken with our chairs in January, which will go on the wall in the restaurant, near the chair... Can't wait! I'll keep the blog updated of my progress... chair arrives on Monday.

Two new restaurants - two new logos


I created these two logos for two new ventures from Club Gascon. Cigalon is a french restaurant, opened in October 2010 in Chancery Lane and Baranis is under Cigalon... a 50's French Riviera bar/ restaurant with it's own Petanque pitch!

Pants on show




Our exhibition opened yesterday at the Emporium in Muswell Hill and hundreds of people came through the door to see the 25 pictures with the 'pants' inspired theme. Here are my 3 entries (a 3D textile piece, a painted alphabet and a limited edition print). Lots were sold yesterday, but see http://onthewallcollective.blogspot.com/ in the next few days for details on how to buy them.

It's on the shelf! At last - I'm now a proud owner of the Leon 2 cookbook. A recent review said "This book achieves the almost impossible - it's an artistic explosion design-wise, yet stuffed with insanely practical information." Available in book shops on 6th September and on Amazon now!
