Hidden deep below the Cambridge City streets, infernal machinery winds and whirrs, twists and curls, clanks and clangs all day and all night to make the paperclips. No one knows the secret recipe, and no one dares to ask for it.
Collaboration with Hacks6
I’ve wanted to design skateboards since I was about 10 years old. I decided to use the paperclip icon as an example of how i would use any other skateboard company’s logo.
This is an older design that i remade as a vector. Keep it holey.
The cop car is based on a 1989 New York Dodge Diplomat. The numbers are my date of birth just because I’m 30 this year, then PCC for Paperclip Club.
The robbers car is based on a 1989 Honda Accord 4 door. Both came out the same year but look crazy different. Basically everyone copied Japanese designs in the 90s. This is my favourite one. The guy at the top looks silly.
The Security Truck is based on a late 80s Brinks Security truck, not 100% on the year but it’s close enough.
These are my final designs for this project. It’s been great fun and I’m dead happy with them.
This is my series of three Ice cream boards, based off the fact that this board shape is called a ‘Popsicle’. I based my decisions on final artworks on whether or not I’d buy and skate them if i saw them in a shop.
This is a mock-up of a double page magazine ad for my ice cream series.

This is a project focused on electronics recycling.I focused on objects from my childhood that are now obsolete, but due to being comprised of plastic and metal, will likely never biodegrade. As a species, less that 20% of our electronics waste has been recycled up to this point, but there are many parts and materials that can be reused.
I won an award in the Anglia Ruskin Sustainability Prize for these works in 2018.
https://www.recyclenow.com/ has some fantastic resources and information on electronics recycling.

This is a project from 2017, focused on the empty and recently closed retail spaces on Mill Road in Cambridge, I walk this road every day, and most of these spaces remain closed now. Many of them have been replaced and re-opened into exciting new ventures, which is hugely positive. I couldn’t bring myself to colour it at the time, as I thought black and white reflected the emptiness of the spaces.
