This is my painted canvas for The Alive + Well Dog Project for which we recently designed the web site at Camber. Check out the site to view the full gallery of canvases including some well-known artists and celebrities.

Alive + Well will be auctioning the contributed dog canvases to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. If you would like to place a bid for my canvas, please click here.

“One night of exhibitions and events by young people celebrating ten years of The East Potential Foyers”

Fire & Ice Creative commissioned me to produce an animation to be projected at an arts event by The East Potential Foyers to accompanied their printing invitations and marketing materials.

The animation consists of arrows randomly entering from all sides of the screen before pausing and exiting in a linear fashion off the top of the screen.

What are you doing this summer? In fact what are you doing for the next two years?

Artist Simon Lee Dicker of Fire & Ice Creative has been in residency on River Parrett for the past ten months and would like to invite you to take part in the River Parrett Trail (re) Visited Project. If your legs are painted on or you have a valid excuse like living in another country don’t let that stop you visiting www.riverparrettrevisited.org.uk to see how the project is developing. The drawing will be live for two years so please keep an eye on the web site for the latest developments.

Simon looks forward to seeing your responses to this incredible landscape.
