I’ve been pondering a question somebody asked a little while ago that has appeared back in to my thoughts, “Do you ever get bored of drawing plants?”. I’m not sure why I’ve started thinking about this now, but maybe it’s […]
Images of Margate people dressed-up in tasteless costumes at parties or at carnivals is nothing new. This is a drawing based on a postcard image from 1930s’ Margate. It’s part of an ongoing series of drawings of people dressed in […]
Hi there, thank you for stopping by. The above image is the progress that I have made on my latest drawing. What do you think about it so far? This drawing will take at the very least another six weeks […]
I’ve been giving my drawings a lot of thought recently, how to develop, the philosophy behind them and what they mean to me. To go hand in hand with I am also always looking at how I can progress on […]
Almost two weeks since my last update. In this time I have decided to make my drawings several sizes larger than they currently are (in average paper terms). This is partly due to the fact that I always envisioned […]
A 7th season as Artist in Residency at the Ness of Brodgar excavations in Orkney.
So since my last update a drawing of mine has now reached New York, to then be shipped onto Florida. It’s a strange feeling to know that something I have carefully looked after and spent a lot of time creating […]
I’ve never really had much confidence when it comes to making ‘Art’ and yet somehow I keep on trying. Most of my drawings never reach a point at which I’m happy for them to go out into the world as […]

Recently I have been working on a piece that has consumed so much time and has been so labour intensive that every time I thought I had finished, the doubt flooded back like acid rain eroding a sandstone statue. The […]
Community art work in response to housing crisis and Government’s proposed Housing and Planning Bill to build more “affordable” homes
Its time to keep telling this story. I know its going to be a struggle to translate the last few weeks into something clear and coherent, hence the gin and tonic again. In my last post I was rambling through […]
Another collage using discarded pieces of work, ghost prints and tracings, cut up or torn and re-ordered. The fragments are parts of a disjunctive narrative, brought together in a way that “feels right”.
Hello there, I’ve just finished around six hours of drawing and I have been positively fizzing, sometimes the lines and marks feel almost preprogrammed as if already drawn and then only to be transcripted onto another surface. As anyone who […]
So, over what seems a very long time I really feel I have finally managed to integrate very respectable amounts of drawing into my everyday life. This has had an unexpected effect on my normal day to day working life […]
Hello reader! Recently I have had the luxury of some unexpected time away from my day job. This has resulted in some obsessively intense sessions of drawing. These sessions have been incredibly beneficial to my practice and my state of […]
Small sculptures made with found litter at Spurn
monochromatic studies investigating how a 3D object is transformed on a 2D surface
Here’s a picture of a couple of recent drawings. They are done in metalpoint and they are about the size of small postcards. They’re part of an ongoing project to do with postcards that have something to do with Margate. […]
