He was head designer at Hessen Metal Skateboard Hardware and Artist in Residence at design/advertising agency Fold7. His work has been published in such books as "Scrawl 2 - More Dirt", "Zines" and "Blower" (Booth Clibborn), "Concrete To Canvas" (Laurence King) "The Art of Rebellion 1 & 2", "Izastickup", and the Dazed and Confused book "Annual", as well as appearing everywhere from children's books for Hodder, tour posters for MTV, and number 1 UK singles, to the bottom of Burton Snowboards. He has exhibited in London, Tokyo, Paris, Portland (Oregon), Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Milano and Barcelona.
