Delighted that my Portrait of James Cosmo in the battle of Falkirk mural features so prominently in the Sunday Mail today. Really appreciate journalist George Mair writing the piece and letting James know, and also the society of John De Graeme for getting him put in the battle

Got some lovely photos of the Lion Rampant on the John De Graeme fountain with my mural in the background. They frame each other beautifully My friend Adam wanted to visit his portrait in the the falkirk mural so we took along a very tall ladder. @

A wee video from my new mural unveiled today by the Friends of Campbell Park in Colinton. Painted in collaboration with Firrhill High School senior three pupils. A really cheery new addition to the Colinton mural trail!

Fabulous wee article from the Edinburgh reporter about my latest mural. Telling the story of David 1st and his legendary encounter with a stag in Holyrood Park theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2024/06/new-ci…

Delighted with this brand new mural I’ve made depicting the medieval legend of the Holy Rood. David 1 was King of Scotland in 1123, he eventually became a saint. Instead of going to church for the feast An honour to make a modern interpretation of this medieval legend🙂

A new feature in the Colinton Tunnel a portrait of my friend and award winning prop maker and costume designer Emmie from @ambervalravn . Emmie’s work is glorious, magical and whimsical - as soon as I saw her latest creation i knew she had to feature!

A fun new making of video featuring the new threshold artwork in the @colintontunnelmural . Love how this portrait of @clanvalravn turned out. This was a real collaboration between myself and Craig @purshone who , true to form, painted some truly beautiful words.
