Hagglers Corner, Sheffield
The lovely people at Hagglers Corner offered a selection of their walls to make some new animations (more details on these coming soon). So to say thank you, Jo created a mural for them, which shows off the variety of businesses and studios within their walls.
Located on Queen’s road in and with a very lovely (warm) café! Thanks all at Hagglers for looking after the team!

Pitfield Collaborative exhibition
For this exhibition Jo transformed the gallery space with a huge illustration of the Pitfield building as a black and white mural on the rear wall. Fusing shop and gallery space, a drawing of Trellick Tower is expanded on striking monochrome wallpaper and used on curved lampshades in heavy dupion silk.
For an injection of colour, luxurious square cushions are available. Three limited edition designs have been created, featuring Pitfield London’s exterior, Brick Lane’s Beigel Bake and the Tea Building on Shoreditch High Street. Pitfield London

Athens
Invited out to Greece in a collaborative project, which will eventually culminate in Greek artist Vasilis coming over to London to decorate our city. It might take a while though, as he doesn’t like the cold! Here is an example of some of the work he has done in Athens.
Travelling with photographer Karina Lax I painted beneath the shadow of the Acropolis and Karina made a documentary of the stay, which will be shared soon. Thanks to Vasilis and all of his lovely friends for making us feel so welcome!

Goldsmiths Row
A mural created on the old Children’s Hospital on Goldsmiths Row in Hackney and commissioned by Camden based architects HTA after a series of workshops with the local community.
The mural is the result of a discussion with the residents of the local area and references themes of transition and change, whilst paying homage to some of the more authentic businesses of the local area, such as E-Pellicci restaurant on Bethnal Green road, a family run business since 1900 and one of my favourite café’s in London.

Bunch Of Fives by the Designers Republic
Asked by Ian Anderson of the Designers Republic to contribute to a new book they were producing to celebrate the fifth birthday of super Sheffield based Evolution Print. It also coincided with the 25th birthday of TDR™.
I was asked the question “What does five mean to you” and when I think about numbers, I tend to get all serious and think of the way that people try to organise society with numerical restrictions and categories, in particular the 5 day working week and the classic 9-5 analogies… So I drew a picture of my Boot Street London studio.
