Mural for Marwell Tropical House

As part of its new signage system, I was asked to link in key shapes with a mural for the entrance to the tropical house at Marwell Wildlife Park.

 I also had a specific list of itinerant creatures and plants to include.

The final image was converted to digital artwork and made into vinyls.

The Wedding Tree

This project was a wedding present for my brother and his wife. The tree was an idea that represented the whole family, so I just let evolve. These pictures show the progression of the image from start to finish.

I started with the main trunk and headed outwards

The shape began to form

I cut the tree out and played around with background colours and leaf shapes.
Brown paper made it ping out!

Final framed piece

I cut out and remounted the tree to the brown paper background. Then I added leaves, the birds and fiddled about with both until I was happy. Each represents various members of my family, only I haven't revealed who is which.
Finally, I added the off-cuts and rejects, simply because I liked them.


I hope they're pleased with it.
