Heading down to London tomorrow to exhibit my work at D&AD's New Blood Show. Look out for a very large pair of giraffe legs on the wall and you will find me...

Bonobo Chimps have been found to be one of the few animal species to demonstrate selfless acts of kindness. A chimp (no. 1) in a zoo was placed in a cage full of tasty food. In the cage next to him was another chimp (no. 2) with no food. The door between the two cages could only be opened by chimp no. 1. Before he even began to eat, he opened the door to allow the other chimp to share the food with him. The article I read this in drew a comparison to a human selfless act of kindness - giving blood.

When my mum lived in Cameroon, she had an African Grey parrot. He was moved from the busy living room into the quiet hallway where he became lonely and began to pluck out his own feathers...this lead to him being named Oven-Ready.

Silk screen printed Giraffe legs. These will be coming down to London with me...

A photo of my degree show. Now that the show is over i have taken it down, all except the giraffe legs painted on the wall!

My favourite screen print from this year...

Hopefully I will be selling some of these in our illustration shop at the degree show.

Another piece for my folio. When humans and animals are depressed, it is because they are lacking in the chemical, serotonin. I decided to make a poster to sell it like a product.

Last semester i read up on Knut, the polar bear celebrity in Berlin Zoo. He was rejected by his mother at birth and raised by his keepers. Animal rights activists claimed he would be better off killed than being raised by humans...seems a bit messed up to me.

Poor Knut died last month, just four years old, he was suffering from swelling of the brain - nothing to do with the fact he was kept in a zoo. I thought he deserved a drawing.
