Some emails stop you in your tracks for all the right reasons. This week I received a message from Jack, a GCSE student from Scarborough, asking if he could write his GCSE art case study on me. It was polite, thoughtful and, if I am honest, rather humbling. When you are busy making work, answering enquiries, planning the next painting, or simply getting through the week, you do not always stop to think that someone younger might be looking at your art with serious attentio

why is there a black cat in every painting? The answer begins long before my own work. It belongs to a much older story about artists, craft, identity, and the quiet marks makers leave behind. For thousands of years, craftspeople and artisans have added maker’s marks to their finished work. These marks might be simple, complex, decorative, practical, obvious, or almost invisible.

It has been a heavy week for Manchester City fans. After the independent commission’s verdict on the Premier League charges, the mood around the club has been anything but calm. There has been frustration, debate, anger, gallows humour and, as ever with football, plenty of noise from everyone else. This is not a legal breakdown of the case.

That is why the expanded collection at andrewrobinsonart is such a useful step forward. The range now gives collectors, supporters, and gift buyers more choice across print sizes, formats, mounts, and framed options, with prices starting from just £11.

Tamworth FC has been a cornerstone of its community for nearly a century. Their home, The Lamb Ground, has witnessed 92 years of football history since opening in 1933. Recently, the club entered a new chapter with an American investment group taking ownership and appointing a new chairman. This change marks the end of a 40-year era under the previous owner and ushers in fresh hopes and maybe concerns for supporters. My latest painting of The Lamb Ground captures this moment

Arsenal Football Club has finally ended a 22-year wait by winning the 2025-2026 Premier League title. This victory marks a historic moment for the club and its supporters, who have longed for this success since the days at Highbury. Now, as Arsenal FC prepares to face Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League final on Saturday, 30th May at 5 PM BST, the excitement around the club is palpable. This week could become one of the most memorable in Arsenal’s history. Arsen

Painting a football stadium is more than just capturing a building. It is about preserving the energy, history, and passion that fills the stands on match days. Over the past few days, I have dedicated my time to painting the Truro City Stadium, home to Truro City F.C., a club competing in the National League. This project has been a long time coming, as I have been slowly working to complete a series of paintings featuring National League clubs.
