I am an artist/illustrator. I use traditional drawing and painting/rendering skills and sometimes airbrush. I am interested in Surrealism and visual metaphor to convey an editorialised idea. I have had a wide variety of commissions and my influences include Magritte, Gilbert Stone, Kurt Schwitters, Dave McMacken , Escher, Peter Blake and Terry Gilliam, Storm Thorgerson (Hipgnosis) Rick Griffin, Psychedelia and Sci-Fi.
