SKELETON PLATES AT NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Very exciting, my set of 10 skeleton plates are now being sold at the Animal Inside Out shop at the Natural History Museum. They're displayed just as you come out of the amazing Gunther Von Hagen's Body Worlds exhibition. Love those insides.

SUPERMODEL IN COLOGNE

The New English recently took my skeleton plates on vacation to Cologne for Blooom – the creative industries art show which forms part of the fantastic Cologne Art Fair. Looks like a nice little booth they had themselves there.

YELLOW VEIN

My collaboration installation piece with The New English is now for sale. 10 plates, one artery, one vein. Fill the plates with meat and enjoy pretending to be a cannibal. Buy him here.

NEW SET WITH THE NEW ENGLISH

I've done a new 10 plate set with The New English. It shows 10 different points of the skeleton, is the size of an average man and has one gold vein and one red vein that flows across the plates. Drawn in my usual way, screen printed on to fine bone china, made in England, produced by The New English. For press see here.

"Wall plates are becoming popular due to the beautiful styles that are on offer". In short, wall plates are making serious art and design waves again."

On moving into surrealist territory with decorative plates: "Indeed, unusual bestsellers include Phoebe Richardson's black and white bone china plates, which are decorated with silk screen printed skulls and skeletal hands..."
