Exhibitions

It has been a fantastic few weeks on the road, taking my artwork, prints, books and live drawing to three very different events across Scotland. First came Kirkcaldy Comic Con, followed by Dundee Comic Con, and then I headed back home to East Kilbride for Blackheart Market.

Exhibition October 2026 As an artist, I’m always exploring new ways to push my work forward, challenge my creativity, and discover fresh approaches to capturing the world around me. My latest collection of paintings marks an exciting step in that journey, as I’ve been immersing myself in the expressive and wonderfully unpredictable world of palette knife painting. For this new body of work, I wanted to move away from precision and allow texture, movement, and instinct to take

Super Excited to be having another Exhibition in East Kilbride Arts Centre this April 2023. This Exhibition will feature a brand NEW Range of Art and Photography! Below you can see my Exhibition from 2012 and I can't believe it was just over 11 years since I first Exhibited in EKAC. You can see some my favourite Arttoons with Tuffy and Portwey, Californication, Santa's Workshop, Route 66 and Road Rage. Looking back at my early Arttoons the focus was certainly Fun and being Bo
