Happy Pride Month...

As a gay man I spent most of my life believing I wouldn't be able to be a dad. It just wasn't possible for me, even though I grew up wanting to have kids... However where there is a will there is a way.....

Last week we welcomed our beautiful son and nothing prepared me for the explosion of love that he arrived with.

For those struggling to understand why pride month is necessary, it's about visibility. While some parts of the political establishment and society want to erode the rights of members of the LGBTQIA community, to vilify our very existence and take away what has been fought for, not freely given..... This month is for us to stand up and say we are here and we stand together.
Family can be whatever we make it, and ours is perfect and just as valid as any other.
This child has 3 parents devoted to bringing him into the world, to loving and raising him together.

For any q***r folk that have the same wish to be a parent, you can message me and I'll share some info of the path we took.

Happy pride month.

A hazy early summer day.....
I decided recently to share more of the day to day views of the sister..... So you can get a feel for how dramatically they change and where the inspiration for my colour palette comes from.... They never stop shifting.... And today there's a milky blue quality to the calm sea...... The sisters are obscured slightly by a haze... Which unfortunately only the eye can see in real time......

An emotional day in the studio.

This is Millie, she was my first dog. She died 8 years ago and I have carried her ashes with me since. Not really knowing what to do and not wanting to scatter them somewhere I will move on from.

So this idea came. I have blended her ashes into clay and used that to create a sculpture of her. I only have one photograph of her to work from but I can remember the fluffyness of the fur under her ears and the wiry hair down her neck.....

She was a feisty girl and I was her 5th and final companion, people kept giving up on her.
I adopted her while I was walking to Scotland. We spent 6 weeks living in the woodlands and walking together. She ran off in the mountains and 8 days later we finally found each other. Not without the help and kindness of the locals.

I have my second dog Floyd to work with next. It's been lovely to reminisce as I work and think of our adventures.
