This is Spider Baby, a child from another world not quite like our own. He grew from a series of doodles I made of children with fangs, big hats or high hairstyles. They all had mischievous expressions so you were not sure if they wanted to play with you, or sink their teeth into you and suck out your insides. The drawing was made with simple 6B graphite pencils. I used a variety erasers to 'cut' out into the drawing leaving an image which looks as if it emerged from the paper. The paper is sturdy Stonehenge paper which has rough edges on the vertical sides.

Australia
I grew up in Ireland but have lived in Australia for more than 20 years. Fine art books were the picture books I leafed through as a child. My favourite artists were Durer, and all of the Dutch masters. As most of the reproductions were in black and white, in my formative years, I thought these fantastical images of saints and dragons and warriors were photographs from a more interesting world that no one had told me about. As an adult, I realised that I my pencil drawings were attempts to draw the denizens of this fantastical world I grew up with but I have still not found. In the early 1990's I received my best training in art when I worked as a street artist over three summers, doing caricatures for tourists in Spain. Drawing constantly for hours on end, day after day, honed my skills, and in my off times I drew the streets around me, or doodles from my imagination. I aim for ambiguity in my drawings—to keep the viewer guessing. What is going on? Is that person a friend or foe? Perhaps if they stare at it for long enough they'll find the answers.
