Quackers
I was asked if I could make a bronze sculpture of Quackers sat in her bed. Dave had reared her from one day old when he found her abandoned, she was disabled (one leg had been bitten off by a dog). Quackers became quite famous on Instagram and when she sadly passed away age 5, Dave contacted me about a bronze sculpture. The finished bronze of Quackers is to be placed on a bolder on the side of Coniston Water where she was found. With thanks to Castle Fine Arts Foundry for the casting.

Stanley (Gorilla for Gorilla Glue)
I was commissioned by Gorilla Glue Ltd to make a large Gorilla for their Head Office. I made a maquette first and fired to ceramic, this gave me something to scale up from for the larger version. The finished casting was in bronze resin by Castle Fine Arts Foundry and was featured in Lancashire Life Magazine.
Wall Mural at Preston North End Football Club
I was asked to create a mural for a 20’ wall in a room (underneath the Alan Kelly Stand) at Preston North End. I felt a view of the pitch would be apt. I took several photographs of the pitch and over a period of 8 weeks created the wall mural on the wall. I used spray guns for large areas and hand painted smaller areas.
