Meet the Artist: Alberto Giacometti - An art Activity book

From the series of ‘Meet the Artist’ books published by Tate Publishing, this book was created to coincide with the Alberto Giacometti retrospective at Tate Modern in 2017.

Written in collaboration with the Editors at Tate, illustrated by myself and designed in collaboration with Nous Vous, this book introduces kids to Giacometti’s work in a fun and engaging way. By using a selection of original images, quotes and creating a series of activities that explore key themes and ideas in Giacometti’s work the book aims to learn a variety of techniques and mediums but also inspire them to become great artists themselves.

People I've Never Met & Conversations I've Never Had - Nobrow Press

‘People I’ve Never Met & Conversations I’ve Never Had’ is not only a book whose title is far too long, it is also my first book and the first hardback book published by Nobrow press in 2009.

Unsurprisingly the book features a series of portraits of people I have never met and transcriptions of conversations I have never had. Although the one conversation about being invisible on the bus is inspired by a real life event involving my brother as a child thinking his legs were invisible due to him wearing camouflage trousers. So there.
