Some holidays become memories. Some become part of your story. ❤️

Florida has always held a very special place in my heart.

My first big holiday abroad was here with my grandparents when I was a child, and it left a huge mark on me. I was lucky enough to return again with my whole family, spending four wonderful weeks here.

And now, all these years later, I get to experience Florida all over again, this time with my amazing wife. ❤️

Of course, I couldn’t come without Tarc. 🤖❤️

There’s something incredibly special about returning to a place that meant so much to you as a child, and creating new memories there with the person you love.

Same Florida. New memories. A very happy heart. 🌴☀️❤️

Some artwork carries more than just a picture. It carries a piece of your life.

These two pieces were created back in 2012, when I was known as BotMan, long before Tarc became Tarc. 🤖❤️

I would draw the originals, photocopy them at the library in St Ives, Cornwall, and then, under the cover of darkness, paste them up around the town.
Those were exciting times. I was at the height of my little street-art journey, and these pieces became two of my Mum’s favourites.

Today, they’re part of a private collection. My Mum’s collection.

With her no longer here, having these originals feels incredibly special. They’re a reminder of a happy time, of my Mum, and of those early days when I was beginning to discover where art might take me.
They may be over a decade old, but their story is still alive.

And perhaps that’s the beautiful thing about art. It can hold onto memories long after the moment has passed. ❤️

Some things stay with you. ❤️

As a kid, I fell in love with Pop Art. The colour, the energy and the sheer joy of it all. That’s where my love for artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring began, and it’s never really left me.

This piece is my little love letter to that influence, mixing the boldness of Pop Art with the raw, expressive feel of street art. A nod to where my own artistic journey began. 🎨

And, of course, Tarc had to be right in the middle of it. 🤖❤️

I’m really proud of this one.

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of bringing Tarc the Robot to Kineton for the very first time ❤️

Even though I’m local to Warwickshire, this was my first time showing my work in the village, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a kinder welcome. The good people of Kineton were so lovely, so supportive, and so genuinely interested in Tarc and what I do. It filled my heart.

Thank you from the bottom of my ( and Tarc’s ) heart for making a first-time exhibitor feel so at home. I’m truly grateful 🥹

Until next time, Kineton. 🤖❤️

💳🤖 Meet Tarc’s business card… but not as you know it!

I wanted Tarc’s business card to be a little different.

So, I took inspiration from Pokémon cards and created a Tarc the Robot character card! ❤️

On the front, you’ll find Tarc, his stats, abilities and a few little surprises. Basically, it’s fun on the front…
…and on the back, it’s business on the back. 😉

Why did I do it this way?

Because let’s be honest, most business cards end up in a drawer, a pocket… or the bin.

I wanted to create something people might actually want to keep.

Something that makes them smile, tells them a little bit about Tarc, and hopefully stays in their possession long after we’ve met.

After all, if Tarc is going to spread a little positivity and kindness around the world, he might as well have a business card that does the same. ❤️🤖
Tarc the Robot. Collectible business card. Emotional support robot.

Okay… maybe that last one isn’t officially on his CV. 😂

A little piece of my past, brought back to life.

Many years ago, when I was still known as BotMan Art, I created these three pieces featuring Bot, the little robot who would eventually become Tarc.

They were a very different style for me, with a bold, colourful pop-art feel, and they quickly became some of my best-selling artwork.
So I wanted to bring the style back.

Not just because I loved creating them, but because Bot became Tarc, and my art has evolved along the way too.

These pieces are a little nod to where it all began, where I am now, and how far we’ve come.

Bot may have become Tarc... but the heart was always there. ❤️🤖

And honestly, I think there are some very exciting chapters still to come.

❤️ “A love letter to Tarc…” ❤️

This is one of those pieces of artwork that means more to me than I can really put into words.

It’s a simple drawing of Tarc and me, sitting together and hugging. But the words I wrote on it tell a much bigger story.

There was a time in my life when I found it incredibly difficult to draw Tarc.

After losing my Mum, I went through a very dark period. Nothing seemed to make me happy, and even something that had once brought me so much joy, drawing, became difficult.

For a while, I thought I had lost the thing that made me feel like myself.

What I didn’t realise at the time was that Tarc was still helping me.

Every time I picked up my pencil and drew him, I was creating little adventures, happy moments and stories about kindness, friendship and hope. Slowly, without me really noticing, those things began to find their way back into my own life.

I thought I was drawing Tarc to make myself feel better.

But perhaps Tarc was helping me become better.

And that’s why I wrote:
“I loved you from the day I met you.”

The day I ‘met’ Tarc was the day I first drew him. I had no idea then where that little robot would take me.

He has given me a reason to keep creating. He’s introduced me to incredible people, opened doors I never expected to walk through, and brought so many wonderful opportunities into my life.
And somehow, after everything, it feels like we’re only just getting started. ❤️

So this little drawing is my thank you to Tarc.

For being there when I didn’t realise I needed him.

For reminding me that there can still be happiness after the darkest chapters.

And for showing me that sometimes, the thing you create to help yourself can end up becoming something that helps you find your way again.

I loved you from the day I met you, Tarc. And I always will. ❤️🤖

🕷️❤️ Best friends make the greatest heroes. ❤️🕷️

With the new Spider-Man movie swinging into cinemas, I thought it was the perfect time to share this little piece of artwork.

I wanted to imagine what a Spider-Man comic book cover might look like if Tarc and I were the heroes.
So I put myself in a Spider-Man T-shirt, gave Tarc the mask, and let our friendship tell the rest of the story.

But underneath the superhero costumes, this drawing is really about something much simpler.

Friendship.

The people who stand beside us, believe in us, make us laugh, pick us up when we’re struggling, and remind us that we’re never quite as alone as we sometimes think.

Tarc was born during a difficult chapter of my own life, and in many ways he became a little reminder that even when life feels dark, there can still be something bright waiting to be created.

And maybe that’s what being a hero really means.

Not having superpowers.

Just having a good heart, being there for someone, and making the world feel a little kinder than you found it. ❤️

Best friends make the greatest heroes.

Calling all event organisers…

Every piece of artwork begins with a single line... and a little bit of heart. ❤️

I’d love to share Tarc’s world with more people, which is why I’m looking for local events where I can exhibit my artwork, meet new faces, and hopefully find forever homes for some of my original pieces.

If you organise, or know of, any art fairs, craft markets, comic conventions, community events, galleries or exhibitions that welcome independent artists, I’d be so grateful if you could get in touch or tag them below.

Tarc’s journey continues to grow in the most wonderful ways, and I’d love to bring that journey to even more people, one drawing at a time.

Thank you for all the kindness and support you’ve shown me. It truly means the world. ❤️🤖
