Almost 20 years ago I journeyed to Pakistan, it was amazing. I did a lot of sketching and when I came back, those scribbles were the basis for new artwork. I was doing a lot in the three-colour separation monotype technique at the time. I learnt the process from American artist Vinita Voogd who cameContinue reading “The Old Silk Route”

It’s a story in words and images of my journey to Pakistan back in 2007 and how it subsequently led me to work with a pre-historian and filmmaker for three years travelling across the wild areas of South Wales.

We picked up a jeep load of armedContinue reading “Let Peace Prevail”

Just A Quickie Or Two
I didn’t have my mojo with me this evening, or my spectacles, so I found the life drawing session quite difficult. For the last half hour I just made quick sketches of the other people there into my little A6 Indigo covered sketchbook with graphite.
A Random Head
Just a random head in graphite into my Indigo-bound A6 sketchbook. I like the way he looks, he suited my scribbly style.
Last Week To See…

The gallery is just a few minutes walk from Neath railway station, which is on the mainline from LondonContinue reading “Last Week To See…”
