Business Mandeville - Paralympic Mascot

Very excited to show you the second mascot that I designed and painted earlier this year. This is Business Mandeville, at around 2m tall this smart business woman is ready for a busy day at the office, she was designed in order to capture this element of London life.

All 84 official Olympic and Paralympic Mascot sculptures are located at points of interest all around the capital including at Olympic and Paralympic locations and are part of the Mayor of London Presents programme of free cultural activities for the 2012 Games.

All mascots will be auctioned off with profits going to help fight child poverty in London.

The Stroll Discovery Trails event features over 80 sculptures of Wenlock, the official Olympic mascot and Mandeville, the official Paralympic mascot - on display around London during the summer.Mandeville is the official Paralympic Mascot.

Rhino Mania

Does my bum look big in this?! Here's a sneak preview of the rhino that I was commissioned to paint for Wild in Art's Rhino Mania. It will be part of a procession of rhino's that will be in Chester this summer. The event is organised by Chester Performs and you can find out more on the website www.rhinomania.co.uk. You can also join the facebook group for rhino mania to get updates of how the projects progressing. It's for a 2 really good causes for chester zoo and rhino conservation so your support would be briliant. If you're feeling flush you can even bid to buy one in September! My rhino is called 'The Wallower.' I'm looking forward to finding out who has sponsored her and where she will be placed.
