He was the first artist to join the collective who didn't come from an entirely graffiti or skate background and as such he widened the agencies horizons and was instrumental in the collectives moves away from a purely urban art environment.

Having left St Martins he combined a day job with creating canvasses and digital work inspired by his youthful obsessions with Star Wars, Judge Dredd and especially that period of British science fiction TV where the scenery wobbled...Tom Baker-era Dr Who, Blakes 7 and Space 1999. He paints weird post apocalyptic "toxic landscapes" and populates them with strange creatures looming out of the gloom. Anyone familiar with Scrawl Collective will be familiar with his Yeti series of paintings and digital works which have become by sheer dint of popularity the Scrawl Collective's most iconic image and used in our business cards, tee shirts, letterheads and event posters.

He was commissioned by the BFI to design the film poster for the first cinematic release of the original Godzilla movie and was selected for Contemporary Art Society's ARTfutures in 2005 and 2007 at Bloomberg SPACE and a finalist in the Celeste Art Prize 2007.
