After loads of learning and work, I'm really excited to be launching three new collections of digital art - https://opensea.io/assets?search[query]=GClaws. If you like the pics below, follow the link, give them some love and help me on my way 🥰

Inspired (as always) by the natural world, I've also been digging into my extensive archive of photographs. Influences include counter-culture (good times), urban intersections and anything else that has caught my eye over time. I have taken thousands of photos, many of which reside as film prints, partnered with their negatives, so I'll be going deep as the collections grow.

Here's a taster of each - been loads of fun creating them 😁

50% of proceeds from all sales will be divided between four charities and community organisations, for whom I volunteer with or are close to my heart.
