I hope you find this site and portfolio useful and that perhaps we can work together in the future. I am used to working with deadlines and collaborating on achieving finished artwork to a brief and enjoy bringing together the multiple visions of all those involved in creative projects. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail if you have any questions or would like to see some printed samples of my artwork. I can also give you my other contact details (address and phone number) if needed.

I will happily consider a wide range of types of artwork, though as you can see from my portfolio I have a bias toward fantastical, neo-surrealist and character based artwork. Fantasy, Horror and Science fiction are all genres I enjoy but I also like a challenge and would happily do historical, whimsical, and editorial work. I have excellent research skills for any historical artwork that requires accuracy and authenticity. If you can see my style fitting with your needs get in touch!

I am passionate about my artwork and tend to try and 'go the extra mile' on any project I work on where I can.

How long does it take you to create a piece of artwork? It varies according to the complexity of the piece, but on average it takes a couple of days to a week or two.

Do you use your own photographs in your digital art? I generally use a mix of my own, old family photographs, vintage (copyright expired), and creative commons or royalty free. I tend to use only very tiny parts of any single image because while I enjoy the sort of subconscious inspiration montage/collage can induce, I also want my work to be uniquely my own.

Can I see your printed portfolio? I am happy to send out samples of printed work on request and where it is practical I also like to meet with art editors (keeping in mind I am in the UK).

How do you normally deliver any completed artwork? If the final art is for web use only I usually e-mail it. Print ready artwork I will burn onto a cd/dvd and then post.
