About Me

I am an artist/illustrator and have been a working artist since october 2006. I produce original artwork and Ltd edition Giclee prints and greetings cards in my studio at home. I love mythology, the amount of material for artwork is endless! spiritual aspects play quite a big part in most of my work, I also love the old faerie tales, especially Brothers Grimm who are quite dark in their faerie renditions. For a selection of my work go to the 'view my pics' section on this page. Copied from MySpace.com -- Find me on MySpace and be my friend! made with the Cosmoedit Myspace Editor

My Interests

Mythology,spirituality, all things green and eco!,going to the movies (just seen 300, amazing!)drinking fine wine!!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to have met Arthur Rackham, I love his whimsical and at times quite dark illustrations. To me, he is the best illustrator that has ever been!!! And then of course there is Alan Lee, his work for 'Lord of the rings' was amazing and inspirational! I love Brian Froud, his imagination is amazing and he has set a huge bench mark for faerie artists, he really has put faerie art on the modern day map!

Music:

I like a lot of different styles of music, i'm currently listening to a lot on Incubus, got tickets to see them in september, yay! I love ambient music, I listen to it a lot when i'm working in my studio,it helps the creative energy flowing!

Movies:

The lord of the rings trilogy, harry potter movies, nacho libre (I love Jack Black!) There are too many to list, I'm a bit of a film buff !

Television:

I love 'Its not easy to be green series',the F word, Grand designs, the arts channel on sky, MTV, documenteries on channel 4 because they are quite daring with what they portray on there programs

Books:

I havn't read for a while, but I do enjoy James Herbert books, the last one I read was called 'Once' to give you a little hint on the story - an erotic faerie romp with dark undertones!

Heroes:

Arthur Rackham, Gustav Klimt,Alan Lee and Brian Froud!
