This is Nottingham-"Nottz oldest Pubs"



This project was a commission for St James hotel in Nottingham where me and fellow classmates had to produce artwork revolving around Nottingham in some way. I chose to look at buildings and architecture for my theme i then narrowed it down do producing a large scale fine liner drawing of Nottingham's oldest pubs. The idea behind this work was to showcase that Nottingham has a variety of some of the oldest Inns in Britain. Having my work on display in St James hotel would give visitors an idea of somewhere to visit on there stay.

This commission project gained me skills in communicating with a well established business to discuss my ideas to determine whether it would work well with the hotels aesthetic. I also had to help hang my art and work on the display of the show.

A rifle gun and machete.

A previous project of mine was about separation between families and how I believe everything happens for a reason. My style is often very intricate as I like my work to be rather clean and precise. I like my work to be quite c...
