  Whats is "Gaia" ?, In Greek Mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth.  The artist Luke Jerram returns to Leicester Cathedral in 2021 with Gaia, A touring artwork measuring seven metres in diameter and created from detailed NASA imagery of the planets surface, Gaia provides the opportunity to see our planet earth in three dimensions. The installation aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. In my film I try to capture the awe inspiring sight of the installation as it fills the cathedral gently rotating above visitors heads and surrounded by the centuries old cathedral with it columns and arches. At the time of exhibition the world is in a unprecedented position with various new "challenges" faced globally day to day,  Luke's work gives us a chance to reflect on this and evaluate our place in the universe and how we want to live our lives.

  Every year a small patch of ancient woodland alongside J21 of the M1 and a short walk from Fosse Shopping Park is carpeted in a sea of Blue Bluebell flowers creating a natural oasis in the middle of a busy built up urban environment.

  A fans eye view of the day #Leicester City where crowned Premier League Champions. After a spectacular season LCFC where crowned Premier League champions at their match against Everton FC.  My film features a look at the party atmosphere in the King Power Stadium before and after the match and features the fireworks and streamers as the cup is lifted high by Captain Wes Morgan, Manager Claudio Ranieri, and the team. #backingtheblues

On 29th April 2016 as Leicester City Football Club where poised to win the English Premier League the City Of Leicester showed its support by illuminating many city landmarks with blue light. Named #BackingTheBlues day the event was a joint campaign launched by BBC Radio Leicester and the Leicester Mercury and supported by businesses across the city. My short film features a few highlights of the evening including a projection of LCFC players Riyad Mahrez & Jamie Vardy and the city's cathedral all bathed in blue light.

The Eiffel Tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, who designed and built the tower. The tower was Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair and has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. My video filmed in the early morning shows the tower from various angles and demonstrates how the tower dominates the Parisian skyline so spectacularly, It also almost seems to glow against the blue sky in the morning sun.

Whilst on a flight to Italy we where treated to these stunning views of the Alps stretching out below the aircraft The mountain sides where highlighted by the sun and created a truly spectacular sight that looked otherworldly in its beauty, Nature at its finest.

Every Christmas table needs place cards this years place cards designed by me feature each persons name in silver lettering with doodled objects and pattens surrounding each letter in white. The lettering and doodles are complemented with a duck egg blue background and printed on marble effect card stock. Each card will be held in a metal holder with a small diamond inset into it. Merry Christmas Everyone......

Ok I admit it I support Leicester City football club !, when they built the walkers stadium I had the chance to have a brick engraved with my name built into the foundation wall this is that brick !.

BNI Car Wash for Menphys A poster designed by me for the BNI car wash in aid of the Menphys Sketchly Hill nursery taking place in Hinckley ( Leicestershire ) On the 5th September 2010 I used an aqua blue colour scheme to surgest water and soap bubbles inside and behind the lettering which is written in a deliberately simple bold impact typeface.
