Trains are a great and affordable way to get around, but that doesnt change the fact I can't stand trains. Smelly, rubbish tea, fat people taking up your seat and either too hot or too cold. Always late, supposedly direct trains that stop a million times and make you change onto a different one a million platforms away.........grrr, I hate trains. this drawing was done shortly after a train journey......

Been forever since my last post, but for good reason. Have been working away in Cardigan Bay with the people of howies helping with their Autumn/Winter catalogue and assorted bits and bobs. As a result my photoshop skills have come on leaps and bounds, I have a better idea of what it is that I do and want to do and my Tea making skills have got infinitely better. After all that talk about how amazing I now am here is one of my previous works without a completely rank colour scheme......  bette... Continue reading ...

I really like old ornate picture frames, I also like my work so combining the 2 together should yield some nice results.

Having a lot of time at my hands doesn't seem to be boosting my output. Just a lot more time spent pootling about on bikes, making bonfires at friends houses, planning road trips and boating days. Much more worthwhile than my little drawings im sure you will agree. I have found time to create these though, enjoy     More to follow Continue reading ...

nothing particularly good about these photos, just giving an insight into where i work and why i havent been keeping on top with updates recently  Sit at the chair, window to my left, radio to my right. Posters from Don't panic, DR.ME and myself on the walls. Lots of little notes and pictures, lots of work to do.......  And this is why that work isn't getting done, my new to me but rather old and battered brakeless BMX. Ive had it for about 2 weeks and had 5 punctures, a few issues with bent whee...

 More university work, asked to create a recipe for something different to the norm, i went along with the idea of a recipe for a party. Basically using the rather good house parties at 'the mews' as an example it goes something like this... 1- one large house 2- move breakables 3- add music and drinks 4- add people, lots of people 5- keep it going overnight since its only a small image and its impossible to actually see, the bottom is full of things from various happenings, hats, glasses, fancy...

About Me

I like to draw and doodle, so thats what i shall mostly show here. I also like films, music, sports, cooking, the sea, animals, naps, new t-shirts, lazy mornings, bad jokes....That kind of thing.
All work is my own, a mixture of sketchbooks, university projects and random drawings.
Hope you enjoy
