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.
