Fionn Crombie Angus

Fionn was introduced to many different artistic mediums when he was at a Waldorf Steiner school in Ireland. Then, soon after he left the school, he began collaborating with other artists, graduating to solo exhibitions in his twenties. He describes how he loves to surprise himself and audiences with unexpected creations and that he feels a sort of responsibility to share his thoughts with others.

Never one to be put in a box, to feel limited by others preconceived ideas, especially about “disability”, Fionn is a social entrepreneur who champions inclusion and leaps at every opportunity that comes his way.

Fionn loves monsters. Horror is his favourite film genre, whether classic black and white creatures, or modern fair. He has a particular interest in the giant monsters, Kaijus.

“I think I identify with monsters, because society sometimes pushes people with disabilities to the edges, and disability itself is a common fear. In the best stories, the monster has something to teach, if people have the courage to listen.”

Fionn often collaborates we his father Jonathan, producing works under the name Fionnathan. Together, they rent some studio space in what used to be an institution for people with intellectual disabilities. Fionn is aware of the irony of the buildings use, and considers it a positive change that he now uses the space to help him travel his own, self-directed life journey. The studio can be messy but Fionn likes his workspace to be neat. Coffee breaks sustain father and son as they collaborate on their artwork, sometimes breaking for a walk in the woods.


Fionn feels really great when his work sells. He feels his ideas and artwork are truly valued, a massive high-five for his self-esteem.  He feels his contribution is taken much more seriously within the arts sphere because disability isn’t seen as a limitation in this space, in some ways it can be an advantage, as people are more interested and open to new, unique voices and experiences. Fionn would like to keep exploring, travelling and shouting about inclusion and personal independence, so his earnings will be spent on all of these things. Although a little will also be saved for the “great” house he would like to buy for himself one day!

Art Rabble Christmas Cards

We all want to do our bit to help others at Christmas and buying charity Christmas cards is a great way to do this. However, not all "charity" cards are as generous as others. Many popular supermarket cards contribute only a fraction of their proceeds to charity. At Art Rabble, we try to give as much as we possibly can back to our artists; currently this is 50p out of every £3. We do this because we want disabled artists to be paid generously for their skills and effort.

We would like to pay our artists a larger amount but while major retailers benefit from economies of scale, for us small print runs are costly and delivery (as a percentage of sale value) is high. However, with the continued support of our lovely customers, we hope we can increase volume over time, therefore lowering our costs.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our Christmas cards - we hope you love them. We are so proud of the work our artists do, if you can help us spread the word, all the better! Happy Christmas to all.
