Over the next few months I intend to show a few pieces of my older work to try and give you a better understanding of how I work.
Since spending a lot of time working on a Mac the way I produce a piece has changed. I have always been most comfortable mixing painting & drawing with collage and have tried to bring this into my digital illustration.
“Star Actor” was produced as part of a project to illustrate the day to day life of a local acting school.
Another ‘1 hour piece’ using using a very famous photograph taken by Eddie Adams which shows Nguyen Ngoc Loan, South Vietnam’s national police chief executing a prisoner Nguyen Van Lem on February 1, 1968 who was said to be a Viet Cong captain.
This powerful image captures the feeling of one man’s power and another man’s fear, until recently when I researched the photograph I would often wonder if the man in the photograph was shot as time seems to stand still in this amazing piece of photo journalism.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster in which 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives in a crush at the Leppings Lane end of Hillsborough at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April, 1989.

This ‘1 hour piece’ started when I found a 1970’s American College Football photograph which contains some of the best Afros, Mullets and poses I have ever seen, I then just had to find a similar photograph of a proper British Football team from the same era, which is also loaded with Perms, Taches and shockingly tight shorts!
I can’t give much more of an explanation than that!
