About Me

Ever since I can remember I have been sketching or painting...I love Art and over the years I have been using many different mediums to produce Artwork.About 13 years ago I began to airbrush and ran a business specializing in all aspects of airbrush design. I still complete airbrush commissions, however my focus now is on my own paintings and 2008 is a year which is dedicated to promoting my name and holding an exhibition to showcase my works...My paintings are now mostly completed using brush and I mainly use Oils and occasionally Acrylics.My inspirations are all enthusiastic artists, I enjoy what makes them produce the Art that they do...Artists like HR Giger (for his creation of Alien) and his twisted style of Art, Glenn Barr, Jeff Soto, Joe Sorren, Todd Schorr, Mark Ryden, Audrey Kawasaki amongst others all inspire me.I am currently trying to secure dates for an exhibition this year, if anyone is interested or can help then please message me on here and I will make contact with you..I hope that you like what you see, I have many artworks which are not shown here as they are works in progress. My airbrush work can be viewed in the Airbrush Asylum Folder and apart from that....any comments are welcome.

My Interests

Drawing, Oil painting and Airbrushing....As far as my art goes I love all aspects of it and they usually combine in my paintings. I also love surfing and snowboarding and hanging out with my girlfriend.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, Gallery Owners, other Artists anyone and everyone...its always great to hear new stories and interesting to learn how other people live their lives...

Music:

I like loads of different styles of music depending on what mood I am in at the time, or if I am working on a particular artwork then my choice of music will reflect within that. I mainly listen to Hard Rock / Metal most of the time...however I do appreciate some Jazz, Reggae, Hip Hop and occasionally House if I am out at a club.

Movies:

Underworld and Aliens would have to be in my top two. I also like LOTR Return of the King, Blade, Team America and any surf dvd....

Television:

South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy don't get a lot of time for TV but when I do Cartoons usually entertain..

Books:

Reference, Reference, Reference....you can never have enough, I am constantly searching for excellent reference to assist with my paintings...Nothing in particular just love building my reference library.
