About The Artwork

I wanted to capture my bad habit, -as it's taken up so much of my time -and money. I have been a smoker (off and on) since I was 10 years old -and I've managed to give up -many times ;) It's not the tobacco that kills you (I'm convinced of that) it's the 400 other chemicals that make up the cocktail. I'm and once fascinated by the "glamour" of the habit -and repelled by the insidious damage that it does. I'm currently off them -this time for good I hope. This is my "anti-smoking wink". I finally got off them, but it was almost impossible as the habit was so deeply ingrained. My mother smoked -while I was in Utero -and before anyone accuses me of "blaming" my mother -I'm simply stating a fact -so that you understand that my dependence on tobacco actually goes back to the womb. You could say that it was a part of my DNA. At one stage (during the late eighties) -and into the early nineties, I was smoking a packet a day. Obviously, I am not proud of that -just illustrating that it had its claws in me. I tried the willpower route many times reasoning that if I started -using willpower -surely that would be enough to "get me out of Dodge" It wasn't. It so was not. I tried everything -to cut to the chase nothing worked. Eventually, I came across the same book that I'd rejected in the 80's "Stop Smoking" I had thought "that will never work for me -simple reading!" Ha! I'm here to tell you that it did ~and it can work for me it can work for anybody. I followed up with "How To Quit Without Feeling Sh*t" which was very necessary for breaking the chain of abstinence symptoms, and I took about 15 vitamins minerals, and amino acids. 4 months of only 6 hours of sleep -and I was finally free of this prison. Thank God. Color Palette: B & W (You can choose to have your image reproduced in Aluminum, Canvas, Paper, or Photo-paper). Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art. Very few places in the world can produce an image of this size, in this format. Not only will you have a collectible work of art, but it will be rendered in the cutting-edge format. Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer). Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom-made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping is tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately three weeks to get ready to ship. *(The estimated weight is based on Canvas Gallery Wrap 1.5" deep with 1 Layer of Resin). Shipping costs will vary with the material's weight, I will provide you with an accurate quote prior to your order.

I started drawing as a child, but quickly became enamored with photography, I got my first camera at about 10 (a Box "Brownie") and started making images with that and quickly progressed to a Yoshika SLR (and electro 35). I took art as a subject from the ago of 12 to the age of 18, and also Technical Drawing for a couple of years. Soon after I discovered music and so photography took a back-seat for many years. From music I discovered computers, and when I realized the exciting potential that they offer in terms of images my inspirations took on a new lease of life. I studied Computers at University level in 1997, and loved it so much that I decided to pursue it further, and attended the National College of Design and Technology in Christchurch, NZ. It was there that I started to experiment with images in Ernest. The subject that I covered were 3D Modelling, 3D Animation, Audio Visual, The Web and CD ROM production. I experimented with Strata creating 3D models, and animations and designed The "Nova" car and the "Millennium" housing design, also a chair, the P.O.D. (Positional Orientating Digitator). This was before Steve Jobs released the iPOD. These were industrial designs, But I do have one still image from that period which I am including in my entry. That year my partner had a son, and he had health complications, and so I had to put aside art and concentrate on finding work. From there my life had been about music and computers, until my band broke up around 2007, and I suddenly found myself with lots of free time and a copy of Photoshop and a copy of Paintshop Pro.
