About The Artwork

acrylic colour on handmade Thai mulberry paper (kada sa), deckled edge, 21 x 31 in., 54 x 79cm. This composition is based on photos I took at Jatujak weekend market, Bangkok's massive outdoor market. This time I wanted to capture the amazing clutter and congestion in the tight inside lanes of that market. There are so many more of these ideas from this massive market I want to put to paper…. I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It is a thick parchment paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect.. Then each page has its own irregular shape which shows as in the base on this painting … my supplier also has her shop at JJ market… The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. The there’s the work in progress, and me with the painting for perspective. Please note for the purpose of the print I have cropped away the uneven deckled edges, which may interfere here with the wording painted so close to the angular base. Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel? Contact me.

I'm Canadian born now residing in Malaysia. I've been working professionally as an artist since 1980 ish… time flies. I have exhibited my paintings in Vancouver and coastal B.C., Bangkok, Singapore & Malaysia, areas I’ve lived in over time. Now I do it all online. I’ve traveled extensively over the years and you’ll see that people, places and cultures are a recurring theme in my art. I attach importance to papers I use for my paintings. Some are done on acid free watercolour papers, from 180lb weight to 300lb. I also use handmade parchment type papers. These are thick yet pliable, strong, with deckled edge that add to the look of my paintings. I’m still a passionate guy. I’m passionate about life and people, passionate about art and painting. And I feel really at my best when I’m putting all these things down on paper. I only wish I had more time to delve into all these activities of mine. But I work with what I have. My health sucks so I’m slowing down. And there's more: book illustration, portrait, comic strip, caricature. I also work with camera and computer, to create the images brush strokes just can't deliver. So follow my brush work and hopefully you’ll find that special painting meant just for you.
