About The Artwork

My original paintings are available as Limited Edition prints. Each as authentic as the original and individually artisan produced in a choice of sizes, personally signed, numbered and certified. My fine art paper reproductions are printed using Canon Lucia EX pigment inks. The paper is a French made Cold Press style 320gms textured Cotton Rag – acid and lignin free to ensure a very long life. My canvas reproductions use the same quality Canon Lucia inks printed on 430gms Sihil Masterclass Cotton Poly Blend Canvas made, in Switzerland, by world-renown manufacturers. The canvas is spray coated with two coats of UV inhibiting, protective laminate ensuring a lifespan, under normal condition, of over 100 years. The same care and diligence is taken with the packaging of each Limited Edition print to ensure safe arrival at its destination. About This Painting I like the oddball. Comic strips from the 1950’s, saucy-seaside postcards, American pin-up art.So this is an amalgam of images, memories from childhood, places in the world I’ve visited. However, the real inspiration for this? Hannah, aged 8 at the time. She drew people with smiles, teeth and glasses (top left, centre bottom). I’ve always held a fascination for images that repeat. Like cigarette cards which, back when I was a kid, came free in packs of cigarettes . Each the same size but no two with the same image. This original work started top left and just grew. I haven’t a clue what it all means nor why I choose these particular images.  As they say ..... every picture tells a story. You'll just have to figure this one out. And remember to 'Smile.'

I was born in North Wales, educated in the North of England and grew up in London. I attended art college for five years graduating from Leeds College of Art (now Leeds Arts University) with a 1st. Class Honours BA in Fine Art (Painting). Amongst an array of artistic endeavours I’ve been a creative director in London ad-agencies, a copywriter, an animator, a comedy writer and performer, an art director and a graphic designer. In 2002, having tired of London, I migrated to the sun-drenched shores of Queensland, Australia which is now my home. In the years before this adventure I was commissioned to paint murals on the walls of Elton John’s Rocket Records. I designed and devised a host of album sleeves for world-wide, chart-toppers and worked extensively with George Harrison’s HandMade Films and with the Monty Pythons. I created movie posters and campaigns for the iconic Life of Brian and the Bond Movies, sold Bentley motor cars to the Japanese market and I’ve written strap-lines for Hollywood blockbusters. My career which has always been, let’s say unconventional, has now come full circle and to my complete surprise I’ve picked up the brushes again. I paint whatever interests me although I openly admit I’m unsure where the ideas spring from. I do know the subject matter must be challenging, engaging and seemingly, without any conscious or devious planning on my part, always turns out to be quirky, unconventional and unorthodox. I guess the words that best express and sum up my work are - ‘captivatingly idiosyncratic.’
