The Day of the Triffids
The Day of the Triffids (first published in 1951) is my favourite science fiction novel. The first chapter is so eerie and gory, that confusion and chaos cause by […]
Dark Web
This one is a partner piece to ‘Web for All’, it reveals a flip-side to the opportunities the World Wide Web provides. Where there is space […]
Web for All
I was inspired by the concept, vision and intention for the internet from its creator Tim Berners-Lee as a “web for all” and the W3 Consortiums mission to create […]
Christmas cards featuring Mr Poe Sir and Professor Moriarty
I thought it was about time Professor Moriarty and Mr Poe Sir had their own range of Christmas cards. […]
Weeping Angels

Serpentine Offering
Serpentine Offering was influenced by a sculpture from a Berlin cemetery and a track of the same title by Norweigan symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir.
