Carnival Drawing

I was born in Grenada in the West Indies and moved to England in the 1960s. I attended Stepney Green boys school and started drawing at the age of 13. My influences at that time were primarily "Marvel Comic" stories and illustrations. My potential was soon spotted by the head of the art department who encouraged me to pursue and nurture my talent. I was introduced to an art teacher who taught at St Martin and Chelsea School of Art and with his guidance and influence attended evening classes to further my experiences. I applied to Chelsea School of Art where I studied painting and graduated in art and design in 1977 and exhibited at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith shortly thereafter. I have worked in advertising as a freelance illustrator and in 1988 I set up my own studio Pencil line illustration and provided work to various advertising agencies and direct clients producing visuals, illustration and artwork. I am currently working on a series of new artwork.
