It’s feeling pretty hectic here, but it’s fun 🙂🙌 2 days left to order through my website. After which, I’ll still have work available in Brighton at @paxtonglew, in St-Leonard’s-on-Sea at @stelladore_gallery and in Chichester at the @oxmarketcontemporary as part of the HERE+NOW exhibition curated by @teacoffeetequila

My calendar will be open again in the new year for bespoke signage ☝️

Big Smileys now even BIGGER! 🙂 Available 35cm diameter (as pictured) and now also 50cm diameter - order before Wednesday for Christmas delivery (while stocks last)

Big Smileys are made using circular discs of mdf which I have cut by my trusty CNC-cutter Ben in Rye. I paint and finish them with a UV-protective varnish. They are signed and authenticated on verso. The wall-mount fixing on the back is set-in meaning they hang completely flush against the wall 🤤

The last available piece in a series titled ‘Joy In Mess’ (something I have to try and celebrate because try as I might, I can’t keep my studio tidy!) These are bench off-cuts, made using pieces of my old work benches #joy

These pieces have been my top-sellers this last month! And there's still just enough time for you to get your orders in before I close doors for Christmas 🌲 All works are signed, authenticated and wrapped.

At an absolute push my last potage date will be Friday 20th! But save my sanity and order sooner if you can 😅 December, let's do this!

🤦‍♀️ I shared my #colourfriday photo a week early! But here we go again! My Seconds&Sample Sale is LIVE!

As a small business and independent maker, I can't afford to jump on Black Friday and axe all of my prices; my work doesn't suddenly take half the amount of time to make. But! What I have done is gather together all of my ex-display pieces, as well as samples and seconds, and I've put them all online for one big studio-sale! Head to my website for prints, smileys and even some signs (and you'll be helping me make space in my studio in the process! ❤️🙌)

Colour Friday is a campaign by @hollytucker or @holly.co which aims to encourage shoppers to ‘bring joy by shopping small’ 🌈 And from first-hand experience, it really does! Last year, as a nation, we spent £13.3billion on #blackfriday. On that basis alone, imagine the difference we could make if we redistributed that to small businesses and artists instead! By choosing Colour Friday, you’re helping to celebrate the colour and creativity that small businesses and independent makers bring to the UK ❤️

IT’S LIVE! My last Seconds and Samples Sale of the year! ✨✨

I’ve linked as many pieces as I can to this reel, but if you check the ‘samples + seconds’ section of my website you’ll find a couple more! Including a big PLAY sign, and a YES (including a mirror-tiled one!) 🌈😮

I’m having a studio over-haul because if I’ve learnt anything from previous years, December is bonkers and I need alllllll the space I can create

(Whoops. I shared that previous post too early by accident) My samples&seconds sale is scheduled for Monday! Included will be ex-display signs, miss-printed prints and also smileys both samples and seconds.

The 2p. My favourite coin; The Arcade Coin! Origin

The 2p. My favourite coin; The Arcade Coin! Original hand-drawn artwork, spray painted matt black and enamel pink. I’m down to my last 5 of this signed edition of 10

30 x 30cm paint on wood. Signed and authenticated on verso

And for some 2p trivia, the 2p coin was originally called the "New Pence" when it was introduced in 1971, then changed to "Two Pence" in 1982 when it was no longer new. But!.. Keep an eye out for any that date 1983, as a small number were accidentally made, and now sell for about £1k!
