For years, people asked why I never released a proper clothing line.
The truth is, I never wanted to simply print my paintings onto a T-shirt and call it fashion.
My work has always been created with canvas in mind. Large cinematic compositions. Narrative-driven pieces. Artwork designed to live within the space of a square or rectangle frame, where every detail, texture and composition had room to breathe. Translating that directly onto clothing never felt right to me. Too often, artist merchandise becomes exactly that: merchandise. A photo of a canvas awkwardly slapped onto fabric with hard edges and no consideration for how it actually wears, moves or feels as clothing.
So while I continued creating merchandise for Art Is The Cure over the years, I kept my personal artwork separate from fashion.
Ironically, while I avoided doing it myself, other people had no problem doing it for me.
For years, I watched bootleggers steal my work online and print it onto cheap T-shirts, mugs, posters and counterfeit products. Endless copyright claims. Endless takedowns. At one point after moving to Brighton, I found four separate shops selling unlicensed versions of my Batman kissing Superman artwork across clothing and merchandise ranges. It became a strange experience: seeing pieces I had spent years building become disconnected from their original intention and repurposed without care, context or creativity and without compensating the original artist.
But over time, something shifted.
The artwork itself evolved.
The ideas evolved.
The attitude evolved.
And eventually, the idea for clothing stopped feeling like “merch” and started feeling like an extension of the same world my artwork already lived in.
That’s where this collection comes from.
Not from taking existing canvases and printing them onto garments, but from reimagining ideas specifically for fashion. Reworking compositions. Redesigning graphics. Stripping things back. Building pieces that feel coherent as clothing first, while still carrying the DNA of my artwork underneath.
Street art becomes streetwear.
The same themes remain: rebellion, nostalgia, identity, punk energy, comic-book influences, emotional storytelling and imperfect beauty. But now they exist in a form designed to move through everyday life rather than hang silently on a gallery wall.
I didn’t want this collection to feel like a gift shop attached to an art career. I wanted it to feel like its own evolving creative division. A crossover between art, fashion, street culture and storytelling.
Every graphic has been curated for fabric.
Every composition has been adapted intentionally.
Every piece has been designed to work as clothing, not just as a transferred image from another medium.
For me, this is less about merchandise and more about world-building.
A new canvas.
Just one that you can wear instead.
