Peter’s work has been commissioned by many magazines and newspapers including the Evening Standard, The Listener, New Scientist, New Society, Prospect, the Radio Times and The Spectator, as well as London Transport and the Royal Mail* (*He’s designed eight stamps). He also had a regular spot on The Guardian for many years.

This ‘don’t miss’ exhibition is part of Peter’s efforts to reduce his enormous archive and raise some money for Shepherd’s Hill Allotments, where he has a plot.

Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson, the blurb for the film reads as follows: “In the near future, a lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need.”
