In December 2023 we sold all of our belongings and moved to Ajijic, Mexico. My wife was expecting our first child and we decided to start our family in Mexico, a place we fell in love with earlier that year. Of course, this sadly meant leaving our friends, family and amazing clients behind in the UK.
I expected buying my equipment in Mexico to be easy, since the main suppliers are in the US. This was very far from the truth! Eventually a new friend generously organised to replace my airbrushes I had sold back in the UK. It wasn't possible to get the paints I rely on and so I spent a long time testing and mixing the acrylic paints that are available here.
Now, 6 months down the line and what have I been up to? Honestly, somewhat less than I expected, partly due to our delightful baby boy and I was needed at home for longer than anticipated. However, I am excited to share the projects I have done in a gallery below. Amongst them is a logo mural from a friend's new indoor golf simulator business 'Birdie's', Our Lady of Guadalupe replacing a shrine that had burnt down, an outdoor mural that involved me climbing amongst a cactus garden (ouch), a water and logo mural on the doors of our water supplier and a canvas commission that I then had limited edition prints made of, called 'Ajijic Little Church'.
Stay tuned for BIG NEWS coming soon!
