About Me

BBC BIG SCREEN DERBYSome of Peter's work from university can currently be viewed on BBC Big Screen Derby.

ICONIC BIRMINGHAM
A national competition and vote (called Iconic Birmingham) was recently held in order to
select a painting to represent Birmingham city. Well, thanks to all you lovely folk, I was
lucky enough to win. It was filmed by the BBC and shown on the screen outside,
and for those who've expressed an interest I have posted a couple of photos below.
Thanks again for the support!

I have a few different careers, but my favourite is illustration. Its hard to talk about something
thats mainly visual, so here are some visuals! The quality's greatly reduced here (low res)
as the paintings are A3, but feel free to check at petersnowdon.co.uk for a better view
and more of my stuff.
