This was one of my favourite art projects from last year. Here's Keighley Creative's Mega Drawing box video. It was such a pleasure to be a part of. I bloody love an empty shopping centre for filming in, such cool retro aesthetics. Bringing these spaces back to life with art projects is a fave for me for sure.

Back home from another amazing event from Keighley Creative at Keighley Victoria Hall I AM BRILL. It had such a good atmosphere, great music, dancing, fun, cakes, performers and games for hundreds (!) of kids from start to finish. I want them to do my birthday party!

Highlights video coming soon :-)

In 2023 myself and Karol Wyszynski were funded to make a short documentary film called Riley and Rambo, our film has been touring the film festivals internationally throughout 2023. We had some amazing experiences and responses including picking up several awards. Finally, it's time to release to a wider audience! We are so proud of our short film and hope you enjoy it.

It's been a pleasure producing this film project for 509 Arts. We shot at Bradford Industrial Museum with members from the Sangat Centre and others. It has been so interesting learning about the rich heritage of the Mill buildings we have in Bradford and Keighley and the people who spent their lives working in them! Highlight of the day was seeing all the old machinery in action. Really please with how this has turned out.

Thanks to the great crew 🙏

So pleased to join Armley Action Team for their annual Armley festival. I grew up in Leeds and spent a lot of time in Armley so was fun to revisit and see the community spirit vibes that this event brought.

It was such a fun event using art and creativity as a means to build community and smashing it. Always good to see Mik Artistik's Ego Trip as well.

Well done to all the event organisers, stall holders, performers and community leaders.

When I'm not filming I'm also a part of the Beat -Herder & District Working Men's Social Club, and after much deliberation and anticipation we're throwing a proper good Christmas Party! Just like the good old days! There promises to be Beat-Herders full Choir singing all the classics, Singo Bingo and lots of silliness and Christmassy nonsense.

🎫 Tickets are on Skiddle or get in touch with me or anyone else on the committee for a ticket if you want to dress up like a Christmas Tree, sing badly at the top of your voice and dance amazingly to your mum and dad's favourite songs.

Absolute pleasure to shoot all weekend for Keighley Creatives Mega Drawing Box Art project. Keighley deserves events like this and it's been so nice to see artists working side by side creating something really special. Such a buzzing place all weekend. Smashed it Keighley.

Big shout out to the Airedale Shopping Centre as having worked their a few times on various projects they always go above and beyond to accommodate arts and community events.

Can't wait to edit together something beauty for such an amazing event. Here's a pic of me posing captured on one of the time lapses.
