My Blog

This blog started out solely as a platform for my pencil drawing, but I got a bit carried away and added more pages, so it is no longer just about my drawings: it also provides an opportunity to show some of my more colourful design work, and on-going photography as well.

It has also created the opportunity - through the 'Photo Album' page - to be able to share pics with family and friends.

Only pics on the 'Photo Album' page may be downloaded and reproduced without my written permission - See 'Copyright' below.

Graphite pencil is the only medium used, and absolutely no computer manipulation what-so-ever has been employed.

My non-professional models are either friends or work colleagues, and I direct and shoot my own photographic reference material - with the exception of 'Pensive'.

I usually use three to five pics - each shot under different lighting conditions - and these are arranged around the drawing board, which is balanced precariously on my lap. This is the only way I can work, so unfortunately, due to the length of my arms, this determines the overall maximum finished size of a drawing to approximately 63cm.

Each study takes between 30 and 80 hours to complete, depending on size, complexity, and of course, other commitments.

Although, I have always considered drawing to be my hobby, I was very fortunate to have been invited to exhibit at Bristol and Bath, and then at Toronto and New York. This exposure has since led to commission work and the very welcome offers of modelling.

Finally, a big thank-you to friends and colleagues - including a complete stranger - for casting off your kit and throwing away your inhibitions to pose for me.
