All about me

I am a graphic designer by profession and started as an office junior work in a design and photography studio in Bournemouth in 1981, were I previously did a work experience from school for a few weeks. I was intending going to college to learn all about botanical illustration but was offered a full time job working in at the studio. I never went to Art College so everything I had learnt in the past was at school. After many years working there I decided to go self employed as a freelance designer which lasted 3 years and was offered a job in a large advertising agency. After various design jobs me and my wife had the chance to travel around America for two months so I took the opportunity and went. When I came back I had to go freelance again but soon found work. I have been Freelance ever since and presently working part time at a school teaching GCSE photography passing on my knowledge of photography and photoshop.
Working in all the different studios is were I picked up all my inspiration and techniques seeing other artists work as well as other freelancers bringing in their portfolios and showing their own work.

This has led onto all the art I am doing to this day and thoroughly enjoying ……still
One thing………..My main ambition…………this would be to take this latest style and do an exhibition from my diary and sketches of my two months in America when me and my with travel about 4,000 miles…..yes in two months.

I have countless photos to work from and still have my diary for every day.

These are clippings from the 8 page article I had in the international artist magazine issue for December/January 2011

Now all I have to do is to win one of the competitions to try and get a little bit further
