'Once Upon a Time' - A Commission

‘Once Upon A Time’ isn’t based on one particular story.
Rather, it is inspired by a generic reading of 'Grimm’s fairy tales'.
It is about the discovery of fairy tales and of learning to read,
and the sense of magic that is opened up when reading these tales for the first time.

The brief was to create a pop-up book based on Dick Whittington,
 and to feature Darth Vadar from Star Wars.

A photograph from Abu Dhabi

When I discovered recently that a friend of ours was staying at the Bab Al Bahr Hotel in Abu Dhabi, I asked them to send me a photograph of the sculpture of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, 
that we created in 2013, and which is on permanent display in the hotel lobby. 
Here is the photo they sent.
