If you have kids or you would like to join in, I am running ...

The American Trip

4 Drawings a Day – 60 Days :- I wake up to my alarm which is instructing me to draw. It is 3am. Fumbling on the ground my hand reaches a pen and I begin to draw. Looking up, a street light gleams into my eyes and for a moment the whole room is filled with an orange glow. I try to collect my thoughts, however sleep deprivation is forcing my eyelids shut ...

Colorado Springs

Hey ya’ll Very short one, I am in a Libarary in Colorado Springs with little internet time on my hands. When we left Indiana we went down to New Orleans, passing St. Louis and Memphis on the way.

On the road from Cape Cod to Lafayette

Dirty Clothes, smelly socks and stubbly faces are all a part of living in the car. We’ve managed to have touched base with the normal world.

This week has been one of the ...

Every where you go in Boston you’ll find restaurants, sandwich bars, food outlets; just loads of variety and taste to suit any hunger traveller. Myself and Tristan have now bought a ...

Group Show at Lloyd Gill Gallery

I was invited by the gallery owner, Lloyd Gill, to present three paintings from my light decay series in this exhibition.

I found the private view a lovely evening and very much enjoyed Mr Gill’s company over the course of the show. From this exhibition I ...
