Pride 2025 is fast approaching once again…
Chipping Norton Town Hall Mural unveiling...
Unveiling of the Town Window Mural: ‘Reflections of Chippy’.
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived — the grand unveiling of our community-created Mural on the Town Hall windows!
Join us on Saturday, 14th June as the windows of the Town Hall come to life with a spectacular artwork brought together by local artist Luke Embden. Drawing from the amazing pieces made during the Community Art Workshops last year, Luke has curated every single drawing into one stunning mural masterpiece.
'Reflections of Chippy' — a vibrant celebration of our town, seen through your eyes.
Watch the mural being installed throughout the day, meet Luke, and hear about the project, and maybe even spot your own drawing in the final piece!
Come celebrate your creativity and see how our town’s story is now shining from the windows.
Will you be able to find your drawings in the final piece?
Here is a little sneak peek of some of the final artwork panels…

Chipping Norton Town Hall Mural Project..
I’ve had the pleasure of working with my hometown and town council on a community Mural for the beautiful town hall situated in the heart of the town. Over the course of two days I will be running workshops in the town hall where all ages and abilities from the community are invited to create artwork which reflects what the town means to them… All artwork created will be used in the final linear tapestry which will adorn the windows of the hall… More info coming soon!
FLOWER STUDIES - SUMMER 2021
Since the first lockdown came into place with the ongoing pandemic I managed to get holed up back in my Country beginnings just north east of Oxford in the Cotswolds. Throughout the past two Spring and Summers here I’ve been fortunate enough to reconnect with the amazing nature on my doorstep and found a huge inspiration in the flowers growing in the garden. I’m especially drawn to the Echinacea flowers and their dramatic cone centres. Below is a selection of the Flower Series that is currently on-going and evolving.
THE SIMPSONS - 30TH ANNIVERSARY
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Simpsons in 2019, FX Networks asked Awesome Inc to help them create a graphic “thank you” spot full of characters, icons and catch phrases in honour of its epic global audience. I was asked to contribute some freehand typography and illustrations for the project which can be seen in the above motion video.

Wishing everyone a very happy festive Season and new year!
Work.Life Manchester Mural.
The gang at Work Life have ventured northwards and have opened up a brand new space in the heart of Manchester city centre on Brown Street, a stones throw away from the Northern Quarter and Exchange Square. Always great to be working with the gang again and creating a Cityscape emcompassing the old with the new…
Concertus Stairwell Mural - Ipswich.
To celebrate Concertus Headquarters 1st year anniversary in there brand spanking new studio space in Ipswich I was invited to add a splash of colour over the four floors in the stairwell. The key mural elements were based on the brands ethos and key milestones that the company has made to date. A massive thanks to both Daniel Luenswilken and Oliver Turner for creating the short video giving you an in-sight of the Mural process.
London Infrastructure Summit - Live drawing.
A fun days freestyle illustrating at the London First Infrastructure summit that took place in the QEII Centre in Westminster. This year’s key topics were discussing transport and developments with regards to Crossrail 2, environmental issues: improving air and water quality within London, housing and the need of more affordable housing within the capital and the digital infrastructure with 5G being a big topic. Throughout the day I got to talk to numerous attendees and ask them what key factors they’d like illustrated on the wall. It’s always slightly nerve-wracking not having a sketch to work from but just as exciting to see how a mural organically grows and takes shape throughout the day…. Hoping to do more jobs like this in the near future!
HIXTER RESTAURANT PDR x LUKE EMBDEN
A little bit of naughtiness and a lot of fun painting the PDR for Hixter Bankside. Food as you can imagine was the running theme throughout the mural alongside many London landmarks. The infamous Roast Chicken and Beef Burger took prime spots on the walls, this being one of the signature dishes at both Hixter and the Tramshed.
