Scotland has a vibrant culture, with a long history. Yet many Scots are either unaware of its extent, or write it off as tourist tat. In this work, I seek to explore our culture in order to address some of that ignorance.
Recently I have been working on a series of adverts from alternate Scottish realities, that I created to highlight both Scotland's vibrant culture and history.
