At the end of the summer last year I visited Jamaica which was fantastic. In 2006 Jamaica sadly had the highest murder rate in the world. As a response to this fact I wanted to create a powerful Image which would make people think about the violence in their country and promote peace.
My visit helped me really engage with the people and I soon realised how beautiful the country really is and how lovely the people are. I manipulated the words of the malibu advert to contrast a comedy advertisement with a really serious fact.

I've recently got back from South India. While I was out there I recorded figurative drawings in a handmade leather sketchbook which I bought out there. The Idea I had in mind was to used the best of the images to digitally produce a collage portraying the poverty that sadly blights India.

The other two images of the set which were completed last year. The time taken was approximately 2 hours each. I like to leave parts of the image unfinished to allow your imagination to create the background. I feel the suggestion of the wave from the white space around the figure gives a sense of weightlessness which portrays the feeling of surfing.
