About Me

Originally from The North, moved to London 1989, had a great time for a few years, did lots of naughty stuff, went a bit mad in the head, got better, got sick of London, moved to the country, got loads of cats and dogs. Brilliant.
I used to work as a graphic artist at a large corporate hell-hole in the city, you know the type of place, grey corridors, artificial light, grey suits, chino's and Next shirts.
Please help me to avoid going back to a life of numbness and buy my pics! They're a great present, original, and better than just getting a digital print-out onto canvas as they're all hand-painted.
I paint unpretentious, simple abstract paintings. I also do popart paintings of anyone and everyone.
If you'd like to commission a picture of anyone you like, be it a family member your favourite singer or sports icon, check out my website for sizes, prices etc or email me for a quote.
There are some examples of some of my paintings in the pics section.
Also check out my Brother-in-laws band Electralyte, he's the best drummer in the world ever without a doubt, if you don't agree, you're wrong, he's got arms of thunder that boy and no mistake.

Driving

Every day I go out in my car, I get angry. Anyone who knows me will say that generally I'm easy going, positive, enjoy life etc blah blah blah. It takes a lot to wind me up. Now I love driving, so why...
