Last week I met up with Triangle publications. Triangle produce calendars and other products on themes relating to Barcelona. Given the city pulls over 4 million visitors a year, many drawn by the art collections and creative buzz of the capital, the time is ripe to promote the creative works found on Barcelona's streets. My project on street art is not so much about graffiti, tags, stickers or stencils but this selection of works illustrate how artists have made a positive contribution to the city through their ephemeral art.

Hello and welcome to my blog, I work as a graphic designer, illustrator, photographer and artist.
I am originally from Melbourne, Australia, but left to go travelling over twenty years ago and never managed to get back there. In the 1980s I did a toolmaking apprenticeship in Melbourne, then in 1985, I came to Europe, where I saw for the first time the works by MirĂ³ and Klee and I started to draw and paint.
I worked as an artist full time from 1992 to 2000 and I have had over twenty solo exhibitions in UK, Spain and Australia, and since the 1980s I have been closely involved with environmental and human rights campaigns, using my art to support the work of many NGOs and community groups.
In 2003, I graduated in Graphic Design at The University of Kingston in London and since then I have been working as a designer, illustrator and photographer. I recently moved to Barcelona, where I continue to freelance for clients in Spain, Australia, US and UK.
