Stratford Junction

To kick off the year, I’ve been out battling the elements to create my first large-scale artwork of 2026 here in London. I was invited to take part in a brilliant new project called Stratford Junction, where different artists paint the full side of a London bus.

The project opens to the public in May and will be a great addition to the local scene. For my piece, I decided to do something a little different, a classic Mr Cenz-style portrait, but using minimal blue tones so the viewer is even more focused on the abstract nature of the composition.

Back in Penge

At the start of the month, I took advantage of the sunshine to create a new mural in Penge, an area close to my heart, as I grew up just down the road. I teamed up again with London Calling Blog to paint on one of the first spots he ever opened in the area, on Evelina Road.

Responding to the chaos of the world, this piece carries my usual underlying message of love and hope, expressed through an interpretation of music and sound waves. Continuing my focus on blues and purples, I portrayed a male figure trying to stay positive and focused during challenging times.

It felt great to be back in Penge, and I had the chance to connect with both old friends and new faces while painting.

Kreative Talks

A big thank you to everyone who came out to my presentation with ‘Kreative Talks’ at the Art’otel in Hoxton. It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones too.

I really enjoyed sharing my creative journey and personal insights as an artist.

I started from the beginning in the mid 80’s, discussing early influences and hip hop culture. Then traced all of the important milestones on the path to finding my style and vision as a professional artist.

It was a special moment to reflect, and now I feel exited to push forward into 2026.
