Hello. It's May. A few nice commissions in April and some interesting work coming up in May. The year is flying by.

Work

Back in March I was commissioned by National Museums Liverpool to photograph Jim Moir (Vic Reeves) at the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight. It's great to see the press the exhibition is getting.


Personal

A person wearing a black puffer jacket and a black beanie stands with their back to the camera, leaning on a fence at a soccer field. A trans flag and another flag are attached to the fence. Several people are playing soccer in the background, the setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene.
Trans Enby FC

For TDOV (Trans Day of Visibility) I was invited to photograph a local football club called Trans Enby FC. It was a true representation of the beautiful game in action. A proper example of how community, exercise and being outdoors can be good for you. I felt great from being on the sidelines and seeing them play. More photos at a later date.

Writing

Over on my newsletter, Hello Computer, I wrote about how I'm learning to rest more and pace myself due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

The Snowdrop ferry on the River Mersey, decorated in a striking design by Sir Peter Blake, sails past the Liverpool waterfront.
The Dazzle Ferry

The Dazzle Ferry launched 10 years ago. 10 years ago! Commissioned by Liverpool Biennial in partnership with Mersey Ferries, Sir Peter Blake designed a piece of dazzle inspired artwork to cover the ferry. It was only meant to run until December 2016 but like all interesting art, it has endured.

Queer Wonderland by Emma Stoner is a lovely look at queer femme life at Glastonbury.

Safe Spaces

I'm selling prints at The Hatch in New Brighton this weekend as part of the New Brighton Farmers Market. First time in over a decade that I've had an arts market table. Should be fun.

I also have work on display at The Hatch. A couple of my Safe Space prints as part of their 'The Seen Unseen: Dazzle and Camouflage' exhibition.

See you next month.
