THE ARTIST
I have always been a petrolhead. What really caught my attention was the excitement of touring cars in the 90's watching various rep mobiles and the odd estate car on its roof.
My obsession with Le Mans prototypes started my impressive and ever increasing collection of slot cars.
With a keen eye for design I honed my craft for technical illustration at college and later at Bournemouth University.
There is no AI or computer assisting here, everything is done by eye and by hand.
THE PROCESS
Mr preferred medium is either watercolour or gouache on board with a combination of airbrush and brush work.
I work from photos, either taken by myself, by a client or images I find in books. I have such a huge list of cars that I want to paint I am not sure I will ever run out of inspiration!
I take great pleasure in creating bespoke commissions as I know that is someone's pride and joy.
MY CAR
I am lucky enough to have a restored a Porsche 944 which can often be seen being driven around the Goodwood Circuit.
The car has featured on many events and YouTube interviews. I enjoy being part of car clubs and selling my work at events.
GMA MEMBER
