I spent the end of last week up in Newcastle running map workshops at schools where I have previously done murals!
I visited Gosforth Park First School and Lemington Riverside Primary School where I worked with the kids creating mini doodle maps of the area around the school.
A few pictures of the Manchester doodle map mural that I created at a residential property at @OnePortStApart earlier this week!
Most of the landmarks on this map could be seen in the stunning view from the apartments windows!
I’m back at @SalfordRum’s event space Over the Still on November 12th for another one of my doodle map workshops!

A snap of me with the Salford doodle map mural that I created at All Hallows RC School last week!
All the landmarks that I doodled on the map had been suggested by the students at the school, this made it a really personal piece to everyone involved!
It was great to be in Sheffield on Sunday afternoon for the Pride of Yorkshire Art Trail lion auction at the Crucible Theatre! Earlier this year I created two doodle lions that were displayed in Sheffield as part of the Pride of Yorkshire trail.
Yesterday the lions were auctioned off to raise money for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity!
It was a great event with lots of famous local faces contributing and my lion was auctioned off for a whopping £3,000!
I had a great night on Wednesday running another doodle map workshop at @chirpystore in Leeds!
It’s always great seeing what people create and we had a real variety of places being doodled this time including Hong Kong, Cali and Malaga!

A few pictures of the historical timeline mural that I created last week at Atlas Community Primary School in Bradford!
I always enjoy creating these timeline murals as there are loads of different elements and styles to add to the design.
Let me know what you think to it!

Last Thursday I created a live map piece at Protector Insurance’s One Team event at their Spinningfield’s office!
There was a lot of other entertainment on the night including @jamesmartinchef and Luke Littler who both added their signatures to the finished piece.
I had a great time last night creating a live Manchester map piece at Protector Insurance’s One Team event at their office!
My piece took shape over the course of the night and I was part of a stellar entertainment line up including James Martin and Luke Littler!
Some detail on the Oldham doodle map mural that I created at Oldham Market last month! Surprisingly this was my first time creating an Oldham mural and it was great to get the publics input into what they wanted on the map!
Let me know what you think to it!
I recently collaborated with @victoriabaths to create a mini doodle map of the area around the baths celebrating their place in the community!
Victoria Baths is one of my favourite buildings in Manchester so I was really happy to collaborate with them on this!

Artist 'taking legal advice' over Tories' use of Andy Burnham portrait bbc.in/4y2vg4A
A few pictures of the Bradford doodle map mural that I finished last week at @GreenLanePAT! This was my second Bradford mural and was much bigger than the previous one. As well as Bradford and Saltaire this mural also covered Ilkley, Bingley, Keighley and Haworth!

Artist Stanley Chow has hit out at the Tory party after water bottles which appeared to use his image of Andy Burnham were handed out at their conference in Birmingham.
Mr Chow produced an image of the Prime Minister in his iconic style, which was used by the Labour Party. But he said he became aware earlier today (October 4) that there were water bottles at the Conservative Party conference which featured the image, as well as the headline 'Bottler Burnham' and '0% strength'.
He then took to Instagram and shared a post which read: "It seems like Conservatives have been using my artwork without my permission at their conference party... regardless of whatever your political allegiances are, it's still copyright infringement... I'll be seeking legal advice."
