Hi, my name is Lee & this is my blog to kinda show off what I do!. I'm a mix of graphic Designer & Artist/Painter. I studied BTEC ND in Graphic Design at Falmouth School of Art & Design for two years and completed the first year of the HND course before the real world kicked in! I love work that is bright, bold, different, odd, unusual and that makes you "hmmm, I never thought of that!". This blog is part of a wider online offensive to showcase my work be it professional or just for fun. I hope you all enjoy what you see here. Thanks!

Cartoon of my son, Dan for a mural on his bedroom wall.
Couple of new projects getting ready to go. First up is my sons bedroom. Now a fully committed VW nut, he wants a cartoon mural on his wall of him with a couple of old VW’s. Have done a preliminary drawing of him, a beetle and a split screen camper. Looking good so far!
Next up is a recent request from a friend at work for another cartoon mural, this time of a horse and rider to go on a piece of wall above a balcony on his house. Gonna mean some serious ladder time! :S. More news as and when.
The ‘H-57 Commandments’ Poster
The team of the H-57 Creative Station sent us there latest work - a great looking poster design with lots of rules to stay creative. We are really in love with all the different types and illustrations.
Some words about the project from H-57:
“Creativity has no rules. Well, almost no rules. We’ve found our personal ones and wrote them down. Or, to be more precise, drew them on paper, cut out the pieces and glued them on a big cardboard. By the end of the project, we realized that these rules are what really guide us every single day. Anyway, just doing this poster was a way to abide by our very first rule: have fun in what you do.”

Business. Fun. Ain’t it?
“The Oyster Catcher” (9th April 2008). Commissioned piece for a friends, wifes birthday. Aycrillic on canvas.
“St Michaels Mount at sunset” (15th June 2010). Commissioned by my wife to go with the new colour scheme in the living room.
“Puffin on the water” (14th May 2008). Aycrillic on canvas. The very first piece that sold through an advert officially making me a selling artist. Chuffed.
Our downstairs toilet. Probably a strange place to go painting but this was done when my eldest boy was a toddler and we were trying to get him from potty to bowl! He wouldn’t go in there at all, so I thought if he had something to look at and take his mind off of where he was it might help. And I believe it did! Still there today after nearly fifteen years!
“Pippa” (14th October 2009) Xmas present. Aycrillic on canvas.
