This collage is made from objects found on the beach where I live along with scraps of paper, leather and ribbon.

Rosas Amarillas para Adrián
…or ‘Yellow Roses for Adrián’
This painting was commissioned as a gift for the flamenco dancer Adrián Brenes (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Adri%C3%A1n-Brenes/505485442831689?fref=ts)
It’s a pen and watercolour piece with collaged elements (also pen and watercolour on paper) which overlap the mount.
When I saw Adrián dance, as well as being struck by the passion and power of his performance, I was fascinated by his footwear (he’s a very dapper chap). So I chose the boots to represent Adrián, the yellow roses signify friendship, they are set on a window sill which is draped by curtains, suggesting a stage and you can see Adrián’s home town of Conil de la Frontera in the background. The text ‘tiriti tran tran tran….’ is a flamenco refrain.
Another bombona
For this version of the ‘design classic’ gas bottle (bombona in Spanish) I put a wash of acrylic paint over the charcoal drawing and then applied a crackle glaze and stains.
El Palmar logos
These logos were designed to represent the seaside village of El Palmar in Cadiz, Spain
I plan to print postcards with the coloured version and screen print t-shirts with the white on black version
Yuki revisited

Mum
This was an illustration project to design a tattoo and mother´s day card around the word ‘Mum’
The feather represents the crane which was sacred to the mother goddess Demeter in Roman mythology; symbolising long life, health, happiness, wisdom and good luck.
Also available as postcard without the Mum
