Examples:
- Public violence against women can never be ignored by society
This picture shows the simple outline of an anonymous and beautiful young woman, lying naked in a pool of bright red blood. Sadly, she only became a "person of interest" after the world's press reported that she had been violently attacked in public because she was a woman and subsequently died of her injuries. This reporting was to the embarrassment of her native government, who were forced to respond and improve policing to protect women.

- Domestic violence against women
Donated and sold at Moss Art Gallery in Norway. Created and given to support a local refuge for women survivors of domestic violence. JP was friendly with the organiser of the exhibition, having met as artists online in social media.
Created to highlight the plight of women suffering violence in domestic abuse. This was a pen and ink sketch of a woman crouched in fear, overlaid with distressed paper bars symbolising the prison of her abusive relationship.
- The Objectification of Women
This started as a bit of fun at a life drawing session, with a wonderful model "Catia". She is busty, yet slender with well defined ribs in her back. JP might have been thinking more about his roast dinner at the time of sketching, though looking back the sketch serves this question well..."how do we objectify women today?"
Biro on paper sketch of a nude woman bent forward. JP has sketched the back, ribs and arms as if in a bowl representing a roast chicken.
- "Art Is Peace" Project & Exhibition.
A mixed media composition created specifically for this exhibition. Painting of skulls with a single poppy growing through, overlaid by real and fake news clips focussing on aspects of anger, war, deaths, angels and hope. Exhibited and sold at Vernon Mill Gallery, Stockport.
- "Anorexia Week"
Art created and posted on various social media platforms to highlight Anorexia Week in the UK.
- Remembering the Holocaust...we must NEVER forget.
Biro on paper sketch of an old woman's hands held together. This artwork was created and posted to UK social media platforms to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day, 2022.
- up to 70% of the UK Population may fantasise of BDSM, (published research)
According to the 2024 published research of Brighton University academic, Dr. Liam Wignall, 20-30% of the UK population have engaged in kinky, or BDSM practices within their love life, whilst up to 70% have fantasised about it. Read his very interesting research article HERE. As an artist, JP has had regular contact within the UK kinky community and many ladies have become his clients from there. The sketches below show some of the interesting art sessions he has had. It is safe to say that JP is as broad minded and he is a discrete artist.
