Hidden between the stairwells and sirens of the Myatt's Field Estate are former gang members living lives under very different circumstances. They have turned their backs on the lifestyles they used to live, forsaking crime, violence and their formidable reputations for new lives as devout Christians.

You must not talk about 'ain't and can't' when you speak of this great wonderful world round you, of which the wisest man knows only the very smallest corner, and is, as the great Sir Isaac Newton said, only a child picking up pebbles on the shore of a boundless ocean. — Charles Kingsley, The Water-babies (1863).

I'm currently an illustration student about to graduate from the University of Arts London and my work is about telling stories, creating characters and expressing this through the beauty of more traditional media like inks and watercolours.
