Neon Chainsaw



What do you do with the broken body of a chainsaw? Add some neon to it....obviously.
10mm clear glass with 30m/A electrodes filled with argon, running on a 2kV transformer.  Perfect.

Classic Car Boot Sale, Kings Cross 2017



























I spent Saturday 22nd April at Wayne Hemmingway's, "Classic Car Boot Sale" in Kings Cross with the Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato and a "For Sale" sign. 




 A fantastic event, complimented by some beautiful cars, enthusiastic stall holders and great weather.




Very nice looking Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato for sale


























 I'm very tempted to turn up to the next event at Hastings Pier, 8th and 9th July, but this time with some stock of old neon signs.































 Lots of interest in the Lancia, but not enough to stop me driving it home.

Last weekend I took a maiden voyage to Blackpool, the spiritual home and probable birth place of the neon industry in this country, for a visit to the Grundy Art Gallery's NEON: The Charged Line exhibition.

Vernon Semper Viret


Alison Carlier,  Vernon Semper Viret, neon and transformers 2016

I've just finished and installed this piece of neon for Alison Carlier at Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth. Alison was awarded the Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award 2016 and this piece is the culmination of Alison's 10 week residency at the gallery.


Alison did all of the artwork for the lettering by hand to produce this lovely outline with serif type face.



The neon was made in 10mm white and turquoise with 25m/A electrodes and runs off three 25m/A transformers.
