'limited edition'
my badge of honour! this work flips the insult on its head and wears it like a badge. difference isn’t a flaw here — it’s rarity. not mass-produced, not factory-standard, not interested in fitting the mould.built from a one-off mix of experience, attitude, and refusal to conform, the piece celebrates authenticity over approval. in a world obsessed with normal, being limited edition is the upgrade.handle with care. there’s only one - well in this case there's also a version on paper and a limited edition of 17 prints, not so unique really.
 
answers on a postcard extends and develops ideas from the mad as a box of frogs series. the work addresses the familiar dilemma between producing originals and limited editions — a question that often invites conflicting responses. in this instance, the decision is intentionally rooted in the original.
the series reflects a longstanding interest in language, idiomatic phrases and humour, bringing these elements together through painted text. the selected phrases are chosen for their wit and lightness, inviting a moment of quiet amusement for the viewer.
each piece is hand-painted on canvas, paper or board. the works are completed using a model maker’s magnifying lamp and a fine 5/0 brush, allowing for precision and close attention to detail - oh dear, my poor eyesight!
and i hope they give the viewer a giggle too.
