Totally positive and self-motivated I combine high quality drawing 
skills from a sharp and inquiring mind that give excellent creative 
ability. Accurate drawing from life has formed a foundation for other 
styles which often involve designs using a keen imagination where I 
love to invent images not expected to be found in nature. Experienced 
in Amiga graphics packages and traditional techniques alike I utilise 
them as tools in an expanding repertoire where I am able to pick up 
new ideas with ease and explore other avenues to further my 
illustrative knowledge.  

Able to work well within a team environment I excel under my own 
initiative too. Capable of meeting deadlines I am not deterred by the 
pressure, which only serves to heighten my achievements. 
Commitment to succeed ensures I work flexible hours to meet the 
challenge of a given commission.
 
Latest work has seen me leaning more towards paper orientated art, 
reflected in the images with this text, all painted on paper then 
scanned and touched up in Brilliance. Starting out with the usual paint 
brush approach all paper based commissions done nowadays are 
complemented with the airbrush for improved quality, as I am rarely 
satisfied with finished pictures. Commonly used paints are acrylic, 
water colour, gouache and Chroma Colour.

My training was at Lincoln university where I received distinctions in 
Graphic Design and A Level Art. Straight after I had several interviews 
and was offered a job at Core Design, a leading developer in the 
software industry. I illustrate magazines and newspapers, the latter a
place where I also have published those small black and white 
cartoons. I do fine art for exhibiting and selling to galleries. I'll 
probably end up involved in films. With several years unconsciously 
honing my writing skills via comms and diskmags, I am involved in
journalism, painting pictures with words. Following from this I am 
competent with creative and original short stories where I compose
inventive story lines and characters.

Interests include martial arts where I attained Black Belt in karate and 
have taken gradings in other styles. I love adrenalin sports but aim not 
to cut my illustrative career short by doing a base jump. I have been 
awarded with the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award and win at chess.
