A section of an illustrated journal i did for diplo magazine. I had a contact who was working in the labour party who had an office within the Houses of Parliament. So i decided to pay him a visit armed with a sketch book and a batch of pencils. With his help i managed to sketch quiet a lot on the sly, in the process, captured on paper- small details such as vending machines for tights?, small speakers in the seats of the commons for the hard of hearing and the HP club bicycle. 
- published in Diplo magazine 06.

Brian Haw

An Illustrated Journal Piece about Brian Haw- I decided to spent a few days with Parliament Square's most famous tenant.  At first, I felt I was an unwelcome guest. But after sketching a few protest signs, a few old supporters of Brain etc.. Brian began to see me as less of a threat, and began preaching to me, the word of brian; such as: "R.A.F. stands for-  Rule All Foreigners.....did you get that alex? Rule All FOREIGNERS". Then he offered me a commission that i should paint him a new protest sign. I kept silent and just listened; I did this piece for diplo magazine in 05- Brian had been there already for 4 years, and he's still there today. Although, he now sports a white beard.
