FANTASTIC MR FOX Released October 2009

 I’ve worked on a variety of large scale projects for film and TV some of which are showcased here. The skills I have acquired are transferable to larger costume pieces and  galleries and museums where conservation work is required. I can work with you to produce an exact match to your requirements. I work from my home studio in Manchester but am able to travel if needed.
