Doctor of the University

An internationally acclaimed street artist who works under the name My Dog Sighs. 

Over two decades, Paul Stone has honed his craft – from the streets of his hometown, Portsmouth, to locations around the globe. 

His artistic journey began with his Freeartfriday project. He has since been commissioned to create murals across five continents, and produced ground-breaking immersive installations which push the boundaries of urban contemporary art. 

Working under the moniker My Dog Sighs, he’s known for combining melancholic, photo realistic and often naïve portraiture with the use of found materials, such as abandoned food cans. 

In the light of his meteoric rise, Paul is recognised as a key figure in the contemporary urban art movement.
