Most recently, he is creating cartoon paintings taking the children's illustration style and contrasting it with topics which are more adult in nature, mixed with his graffiti / street art influence and unique brand of humour. He has a passion for character design, and often makes satirical work based on modern life. His inspirations are artists such as Ronald Searle, Ralph Steadman, Quentin Blake and Gerald Scarfe. He is also heavily influenced by graffiti and street art, and has often brought his unique characters on to the streets in the form of wheatpaste posters.
