Scratch My Progress was an NI Art's Council funded project to support emerging artists with coaching and financial support to record their first songs in a professional studio. The result of the project was a showcase CD each year and associated promotional material, created with original illustrations or by collaborating with illustrators in my network.
The Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast is a hub for creativity in the city including music-related businesses, rehearsal rooms, a live music venue, several educational programs and a recoridng studio. The main attraction for the public is the Belfast Music Exhibtion, highlighting Northern Ireland's musical history, I created many exhibition panels and worked with signwriters and manufacturers to have these produced and installed.
