Into the first half of the 1990's, a genuine artistic community existed in Shoreditch/Hoxton, where the majority of residents were involved in the creative industries. Life here was extremely sociable and the subject for the paintings shifted to people, embarking on a series of portrait drawings and paintings. These are like documents of a moment in time because the dynamic of that community lasted only a few years before it dispersed. At the same time I edited and published The Ditch, an eclectic ‘village' magazine, which showcased creativity in the Shoreditch/Hoxton neighbourhood. Select each image for more detail.
