"What is possible in art becomes thinkable in life." by Brian Eno

I've always been interested in cartoons & political illustration. I originally did this piece in the 1980s in response to trade disputes but reused the idea to reflect my view of Brexit.

I've also had an interest in art & design from a young age, including graphic images such as this Lynx anti-fur trade T-shirt from 1980s. It feels inspired by collage work of Henri Matisse.

New twist on my political cartoons is this collage that reused my original cyborg skull drawn with graphite pencil to make a collage with cuttings, coloured tissue & scrap paper about consumerism.
