A fantastic write up by Steve Russell!

Steve Russell, features writter for the East Anglian Daily Times, has written a few articles on some of the projects i've worked on, his style is always a pleasure to read and thats why it gives me great pleasure to show off these flat-plans of his recent feature - Steve actually sent me the PDF's today which i was extremely pleased with.

Over the past 6-7 months i've been working with a young lad from Suffolk, Matt Lucas, helping him to define his photography and ultimately put on his own exhibition - through trails and tribulations Matt got there and maintained a 5 week solo exhibition - not bad for a 18 year old! If you fancy reading the whole story do get in touch - heres a sample for now:

Back on board with Desert Scene and Valient Thorr!

Peter Jones Enterprise Academy Launch Night

Joining friends of the Eastern Enterprise, I was asked back to attend their Peter Jones Enterprise Academy launch night with a host of young and established entrepreneurs. The evening saw inspirational talks as well as live art by Rich Simmons, banked as the next big thing to hit the street art scene after famously transforming the punk icon Sid Vicious into Prince William, an art display inspired by the recent royal wedding.

Roadside Britain exhibition heads to Ipswich:

"Roadside Britain is an exploration of livelihood at the edge of society. Consciously boycotting the mainstream to celebrate the uncelebrated, eschewing modernization in order to embrace a timeless yet challenged trade. Floating between the observational and the voyeuristic, documenting the mundane, the eccentric and a unique much loved Britishness, the work challenges the icons of the highway and brings home a real taste of Roadside Britain"
