About The Artwork
Now I don't know about you, but I have always found the standard ROYGBIV unsatisfactory. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green I can handle - though even Green is a bit of a broad spectrum. But Blue I feel is far too wide a spectrum to be accurate, and quite frankly most people haven't a clue or can't agree on what Indigo and Violet are anyway. It's like the rainbow all ends in a vague bluey, purpley mush that no one's sure about. So from now on, I am working to ROYGCPM - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Purple, Magenta. I know it may be equally meaningless as the old model, but at least printers and designers should be able to easily agree on what Cyan and Magenta look like - and if you are desperate, you can rip apart a cereal box and see it printed there on the inside on the printer's marks. And purple is pretty straightforward isn't it? Halfway between Cyan and Magenta. So this rainbow hedge is a celebration of my new colour theory.

United Kingdom
I create drawings in a tightly restricted format - 16" square drawing on white mount board using rapidograph and pantone markers. The discipline of having a very limited format is surprisingly inspiring. Along with the size, format and materials, I'm also restricted to 'what I can draw' (ie I can't draw people) and also the elements that I use in those drawings - the leaves, the buildings, waves, geometric shapes, iconic themes (flags and other symbols). But within those confines, I find that I have more creative ideas than I have time to produce. I have a mental waiting list of drawings that I have yet to make real in ink. Also, as time goes on, I find new concepts to incorporate into new designs, and so the style evolves. But, as each drawing takes at least 20 man-hours to complete, it's a slow-drip development. I find there's something wholesome about doing laborious, detailed work by hand - and the fact that you cannot easily edit it, once you have drawn a line on paper, makes everything more of a commitment and therefore more important as you are doing it.
