His first Landmark poem was painted on the side of a pub called Hardy’s Well in Rusholme in the 1990’s. His latest poem was unveiled at the MMU in University Place on Oxford road, on February 29th 2012. His work can be seen in several areas of the city, on walls and pavements. Check out his poems “Invisible Kisses” and “Colour Blind” two very different pieces, both brilliant. He writes books, poems and radio plays. He broadcasts on TY and radio. He collaborated with Leftfield on their album “Leftism”. His work has recently been projected onto the exterior of the Turner Contemporary Gallery. See the images of this “outside installation” work on:-
