About Me:

I've been working for the last fifteen years in computer games but recently I have produced more material for film and television.

I enjoy the process of Concept Art, being involved at the start of a project and converting ideas into visual form. Part of this process is to be able to convey mood and atmosphere in a drawing. I often draw in pencil first and finish with colours in Photoshop.

I like to spend time working on my own more personal projects, that tend to be more 'subversive' compared with my normal work. I like to explore unusual themes which have emotional depth.

have an additional portfolio of work on this website, dedicated to Life Class drawing .

I live in Hackney, East London. It is an area which is favoured as a place to live by artists of all kinds.
