Otto is a unique pizzeria with its pizza bases made using corn meal. The corn meal creates a crisp tastey bite rather than the usual doughy base used my most pizza restaurants. The pizzas are absolutely delicious and make it hard for you to buy your slice from anywhere else The two pieces of work that Ive created for Otto are quite different to each other. One piece takes inspiration from the corn itself and the history of the Mexican culture. The other is inspired by travelling and the mysteries of the world. Tom and Rich owners of Otto are keen travellers. Dia De Los Meurtos 163400 From The Sea To The Stars 163350 As soon as these new pieces are hung in Otto I shall post some photos for you all to see.

I sent the artwork to Mr Obama to show my support for the clean up that is still happening along the Gulf of Mexico. Although the oil leak has been contained for the moment there are many birds that still desperately need human help. IBRRC are still working so hard to clean up the oil affected birds. So far 553 birds have been cleaned and released back into the wild. Unfortunately 2710 birds have so far been collected dead. Its so important that we dont forget the work that IBRRC that arer continuing to do. We must continue to support their cause in order for them to get out there and collect more birds before its too late. My Hope print is available for you to buy with 25 of the profits going straight to IBRRC. Its aim is for you to feel empowered by helping the oil affected birds whilst enjoying inspiring artwork at the same time.
