Vodaphone Man

Whilst having a minor clear-out yesterday, I found some pictures of the work I did for my degree show. This fellow was inspired by Bill Bryson's wonderful description from ' Notes From A Small Island':

"..it was with some dismay that I discovered that the seat behind me was occupied by Vodaphone Man...his voice was loud and self-satisfied and littered with moronspeak, and his calls were so clearly pointless: 'Hello, Clive here. I'm on the 10.07 and should be at HQ by 1300 hours as expected. I'm going to need a rush debrief on the Pentland Square scenario..."

Christmas at the Orangery- newsflash!

I will be selling my work at this year's exclusive Christmas at the Orangery fair in Clifton village.

Greyhound

I have been toying with the idea of a range of dogs as wall-mounted heads, for some time. I have never owned a dog, but Phoebe and I used to walk a lovely gentle greyhound called Bea, to whom we became very attached. I wanted to portray the innate elegance of this beautiful breed. 

David

My latest personalised bust, commissioned as a birthday gift for the eponymous recipient. As always with these commissions, I worry about stepping too far into the territory of pure caricature. I have been told that David has a good sense of humour, which is just as well
