I am based in Newquay, Cornwall, and my creative pursuits live collectively under the name of Sleepless ink. The name born from late nights and a creative fervour, Sleepless ink is an idea that aims to let my love for art, photography, design and other imaginative avenues to flourish and be seen.

COLLAGE

For collage I source text, images and texture from books, magazines, packaging, labels and more. I scan and print my findings onto various papers before cutting and tearing to make shapes used in a collage to draw and paint onto.

FINE ART

Drawing, painting and design fuse together to create prints for limited or unlimited runs. The subject matter varies, but with a wealth of experience being a surfer, both in the water and in the surfboard industry (airbrush graphics), surf art is often the result.

PHOTOGRAPHY

My shadow leaves my side more times than a camera. Going out and taking photos allows for the chance of catching light and an instant that may never happen again. Very little is more pleasing than finding moments that are worthy of going to print.

PRINT

Both photographs and fine art pieces are high quality Giclee prints using a natural white fine art etching paper. Coupled with the best archival inks, this great combination produces gallery standard prints.
