Fresh off the desk

Three new
works, going up.

Two drawings and one extremely rude box. Every original here is one of one; signed prints come in two or three sizes, depending on the piece. If something catches your eye, it’s for sale — add it to your bag.

01 A duck with opinions ↓

Duck You,
Duck Me?

Coloured pencil on paper · Diptych

A rubber duck catches its own reflection and does not care for the attitude. Two panels, one very small identity crisis. Read them left to right — the punchline lands on the turn.

Coloured pencil drawing: a rubber duck seen from behind, facing a wall mirror in which its reflection scowls back, hand-lettered “duck you!” “duck you!”
Coloured pencil drawing: the same rubber duck in profile, beak open mid-reply, hand-lettered “duck me?” “duck me?”

Drawn entirely in coloured pencil — every feather is layered by hand, which is a deeply silly amount of effort to spend on a duck telling you where to go. Worth it.

Manze's

Coloured pencil on paper

The green-tiled front of a pie & mash shop that has been feeding London since before any of us were a good idea. All those hand-drawn tiles, the gold lettering, that particular municipal green — a love letter to a disappearing kind of place.

“Meal in a moment. All made daily.” Still true.

03 Delicate craft, indelicate word ↓
Paper quilling artwork: the word spelled in rolled red and pink paper coils surrounded by white quilling, in a gold frame

C*nt

Paper quilling · Mixed media

Hundreds of hand-rolled paper coils, painstakingly placed over many quiet evenings, to spell the least quiet word available. The tension between the technique and the text is the piece.

Reds and pinks for the word; a snowdrift of white quilling around it; the whole thing set into a gilded shadow-box.

Open it up — a flag inside.

Lift the lid and the piece has a second life: a quilled Chicago flag laid into the inside cover, floating over a bed of hundreds of loose colour coils. A private reveal for whoever owns it.

The quilled box opened: a paper Chicago flag inside the lid, above a tray of colourful rolled paper coils
