VIEW IN MY ROOM
The idea for The Rabbit King came about from a sketch I was making of a Russian icon painting. I added rabbit ears and a miss-shaped nose to it and gave him his title—Rabbit King. I then developed it into this larger piece. I liked the idea of the rabbits having their own king/god unknown to the rest of us mortals. The drawing was carried out with 6B pencils and erasers for 'cutting in'. The paper is Stonehenge brand with jagged 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.
