Since returning back to Spain after two years in Africa, I have continued with a variety of graphic work, large format digital imaging, printing, signs, vinyl wrapping, web design and other related services.

My main work is a historic culmination of the blackstar.STUDIO, Yacht Wraps, ProWraps and Stachini Web Design.

I still promote unknown artists, creative art products, printed clothing and more (predominantly online). And also have some ongoing creative projects.

Lived in Uganda for the best part of two years where I met my current wife. The blackstar.STUDIO (at the time being run by my daughter) joined forces with Ji-ai Fashion House Uganda and devised it’s first project dedicated to assisting the creative talents of Uganda in Art, Fashion, Crafts and Jewellery, in order to provide marketing, exhibitions and sales throughout Europe.

A modest concept to prevent some of the exploitation of African art and to help realise the potential of creative artists and designers, offering genuine opportunities where Ugandans can truly earn what they deserve and progress successfully.

Took a break from commercial art and design to work on a personal project. Developed the concept of an art studio/gallery in 2015 and launched in 2016 with the aim of assisting undiscovered artists of all media types to display their work, both in a studio environment and with full online exposure and marketing.

A project dear to my heart and a life’s ambition, inspired by my life long following of the late David Bowie to whom I owe so much.

The blackstar.STUDIO also served as a fitting memory to David Bowie, as well as a testament of friendship to Robin Nixon and Jason Miller. Sadly, due to the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020/21 the studio could not be sustained. Though we plan to open another studio when possible and continue with the blackstar.STUDIO online.

Moved to Spain 2006 offering all artwork based services. Specialising in wrapping products (vehicles, boats, furniture and interior decoration) and providing wrap training courses. Large format digital imaging, web design, graphic design, printing and all related services. Based in Valencia Spain but working in various worldwide locations on a per job basis.

Progressed into more specialised wrapping to an even higher level working with associates in specialist fields. Offering high end wrapping, detailing and tinting services primarily for yachts and vehicles. Excellence and professionalism in a somewhat more exclusive manner with the unique approach of a personalised global service.

After much freelance wrap fitting work within the yachting industry, I was appalled at the lack of professionalism so I decided to compete. With sole concentration and continuation of high end professional wrapping for Yachts and related products, whilst still playing a role in the high end vehicle wrap services. Innovation and integrity is the driving force to maintaining wrapping excellence.
