The Rose Street Market - Neil Thomas

One of my favourite makers at the Rose Street Market was Neil Thomas. He makes really beautiful things like teeny tiny artworks in tins, badges and jewelry. His display and craftsmanship is superb and when I chatted to him, he seemed like a really nice person as well. Please go and browse around his site and blog.


This last one reminds me a little of my paintings, these two in particular.


Due to the inclusion of model railway figures Neil Thomas' work also reminds me of South African artist Luan Nel's early pieces.


In addition to the teeny, tin delights Neil Thomas also makes great little badges.
