So I’m not doing too bad for a kid that loved graffiti art that would never amount to anything, (most of my teachers words).
I’m a self publishing artist, raised in the Midlands, adopted by Yorkshire ‘God’s County’. Northern hospitality is just the best!
I create artwork of what i’m interested in, what inspires me.
I’m largely self taught, yes i did cut my teeth on the streets of Birmingham, although i did then briefly study graphic design at college before finding work as an airbrush artist.
So although I’ve been an artist in one way or another for a major part of my life this is only really the most recent side of my work.
I can remember first watching Formula 1 way back in the days of James Hunt, so it goes without saying I’ve done a fair bit of F1 related artwork.
There’s only a small selection of them here, or there would be pages and pages of them, so these are my personal favourites, and of course best sellers.
I chose the quote from Joker carefully, I find it very apt.
‘People are starting to notice’, which of course feels amazing, I’ve sent prints all over the world now, which will always feel a bit surreal knowing someone on the opposite side of the world has my art on their wall.
I do plan to stay as a self publishing artist and work with independent galleries rather than feel limited to what a publisher wants.
My work can be purchased directly from this website, at a significantly lower cost than a publisher represented artist, although appreciate i have to make a living, and even independent galleries need to take their percentage too.
Who doesn’t love a good edge of your seat movie, the good versus evil, I’ve always found myself intrigued by the villains and anti-heroes, ultimately good prevails but it’s always the villain we remember the most.
Of course they’re usually the most interesting to paint too, so form the bulk of my work, although i do try to balance it out with the good guys.
I’m as comfortable working with paints as I am with pencil, although i do love the real depth you can get using oil paints. I’m just as at home doing portraiture as I am doing cars, something you’ll see in my Movie Icons.
I’m also a bit of a detail ‘junkie’, I love the challenge of really detailed pieces. You’ll also see that i still have a bit of that graffiti influence in some of my work, i do like the juxtaposition of a grungy background and clean highly detailed subject.
I create art prints in both open and sometimes limited edition, with more being added regularly. I do occasionally part with original artwork too, please do enquire.
Original Artwork
I don’t often part with my originals, but, never say never, please feel free to enquire if there’s one you really want.
It goes without saying, serious enquiries only please.
(The Pennywise original oil on canvas shown here is sold).
