For the love of alcohol. An ongoing art collection which is filled to the brim with top tipples and winter warmers. The Booze Collection features Liquid Sunshine, an ode to rock and roll’s fire water of choice. In Vino Veritas is a print for wine lovers and craft beer spectacular 99 Bottles (Of Beer On The Wall). Also an ode to the humble pint, and a wine cellar mural. Please browse responsibly. More additions coming soon…
This piece was commissioned by Hammersmith Restaurant and bar Cellar, as a follow-up to my 99 Bottles of Beer (see further down). The new mural sits behind the curved hero banquette that greets guests on arrival, its shelves lined with imaginary bottles — from quirky craft brews to vintage wines and small-batch spirits. Brimming with local references, inside jokes, and hidden meanings, it’s packed with Easter eggs for Kindred regulars and members. Some bottles tip their hat to Bradmore House’s Georgian past, others to Hammersmith itself or the story behind Cellar. Even Kindred’s founder, Anna Anderson’s dog, Chutney, makes an appearance — immortalised on his very own label, a signature Chardonnay.
Inventing make-believe brands and labels really taps into the graphic designer in me, and layering in little details that reward the observant always adds an extra dose of fun.
The Geometry Of Beer
Meet The Geometry of Beer — a handcrafted typographic tribute to your most loyal drinking partner. Equal parts science, art, and therapy, it’s the anatomy of a good time mapped onto a single pint. Proof that happiness really can be measured in millilitres.
99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall.
Take one down, pass it around. My ode to wonderful, delicious beer. Letting my inner graphic designer run riot, creating 99 different brands in a loving homage to the most bonkers of the craft beers, Pilsners, Weissbiers and Indian Pale Ales. The microbrewed, the mass produced, the frozen and the lukewarm. The European, the American and the Japanese. Love them all in equal measure. Buy a print here.

A map of London guide to the pubs where all the fictional characters we know and love frequented. Also the clubs that the authors were members of, where they wined and dined and gambled the night away. The smoking holes, the opium parlours, from high to low, the classy to the dens of iniquity. All of the places the notorious characters used to gather to plot, scheme and make merry.
Also the Paparazzi’s favourite stake outs; the places celebrities tumble out of. The actors and narrators who bring the stories to life. Buy a print here.
