Our large seating area at the front of the Café provides the perfect setting for a day trip to watch the aircraft or have a picnic with all the family.

has been a slightly different project. My mum and her partner (Chris) have taken over an abandoned cafe at the airfield in which she is and instructor. Chris being an experienced builder, decided to do it up himself, and I have been able to spend numerous days helping him, from ripping out the filthy old fittings, fridges and general grime, to rebuilding and decorating it back to something respectable again.





Here are some pictures of it when we started








Here are some pictures of the Cafe once we had ripped out an skipped all the old interior furnishings




Katy B 'Broken Record'

Another opportunity came up to work on a Promo this time for up and coming singer Katy B, This time I was working for Art Director Jan Walker. The music video premise seemed to be Katy in a hotel / Katy in a club, I helped erect and paint a set on the dance floor that mimicked the hallway in the hotel. This allowed shot that would look like she walks from her hotel room and into a full club.

Kassidy Promo

Here are some pictures of a music video I worked on as Art department assistant for Art Director Nathan Parker. Shot in an abandoned hospital in Ladbroke Grove (also the location used by Secret Cinemas "One flew over the cucoos nest"). The premise was simple, a role reversal between attractive girls in an insane asylum being treated by the band members, swapping over to the band members as the inmates being looked after my some of the girls.
