In this brief video, the artist shares progress on a new piece in their Café Royal series, which documents the former Greasy Spoon restaurant in Bridport that has been converted into a Domino's. The speaker laments the loss of the building’s distinctive sloping windows after the conversion, but notes they have old photographs to reference. The current work is a moody grayscale painting—starting with black, white, and gray tones—and will be built up gradually. The artist mentions listening to drum‑and‑bass music while painting to enhance the atmosphere.

Right, just thought I'd share what I've been working on today. It's another one of my Cafe Royale series. This used to be a Greasy Spoon in Bridport. It's now Domino's, sadly. They— it was very distinctive because it had these sloping windows, and Domino's ripped them out, so now it's just got no character. But still, I'm glad I've got some old photographs of it. So this is a series I'm working on now, which is quite exciting. So I'm just starting this one as a grayscale painting, just black and white and gray, and I'm going to be gradually building it up. It's going to be quite a moody painting, so hence the drum and bass in the background.
