Around the same time Saatchi got started in early 80s, I climbed up my ladder, bumped into Ringo, in Walton Street, Chelsea and started my signwriting career.

I am very lucky to be born an artist, with natural portrait skills, and building a great lettering practice with fantastic clients for 40 years. I knew that path to be true even at a very young age.

Growing up in the seventies, I was supported by some and discouraged by many… which built my inner resilience and determination to continue to paint and forge an artistic career as I grew.

Creativity is at the heart of all human nature and yet is being stripped away from children and seen as an unsupportable choice as a career or any kind of lifetime practice.

This couldn’t be further from the truth as 75% of global businesses rely entirley on the creative industry.  I believe Ai is but a useful support tool used sparingly here at NGS. It does not re-create the beauty of the heart and hand in this industry.

Artistry is therefore needed today more than ever, to be nurtured and cherished… or at least respected and valued. Of course here we passionately promote it.

Quite often, while working on the streets, people say to me, this is a ‘dying art’ and the notion is a sad incorrect acceptence of loss: this end of life framing attached to the hand crafted industries in UK and the western world today is malevolent – denying so many the gifts of both our incredible imaginations and the peaceful, simple act of creative kindness.

Let’s work at showing how art and creativity is in fact everything known to be good.
