Past & Present Footballer

A bit of self promotion work demonstrating the changes to the look of a professional footballer over the last 40 years. Due to feature in the "Backpass" magazine out in shops from July 29th 2009. Can't wait!

The End of a Carbuncle



This was an article which appeared in the Bracknell Standard newspaper (after I'd contacted them!). Back in the mid 90's I had an exhibition at the local arts centre ( South Hill Park ) which featured paintings with a Bracknell theme, but with a touch of humour. One of these paintings (see below) showed planes, instructed by Prince Charles, to destroy a building in Bracknell.Originally occupied by 3M. This building had always been one of my most hated to be constructed in the town, and I always felt that should be it's fate. It was an awful square building with small windows linked to another building with no similar architectural features. The article coincided (not by coincidence) with the long awaited demolition of this monstrosity.

Creation of John

This article appeared last year in the local rag the "Reading Chronicle" (The Evening Post wasn't interested!). John and I sent a press release on the off chance, and low and behold. See logo of John's website (click on it) and see the story of producing this piece of art for his plumber's van. His website is:- http://www.yaph.co.uk/

Earthquake!!!


A recent piece of work was featured in the "News Blog" of the portfolio section of the Association of Illustrators website. Quite chuffed I was selected. Check out this:- link: http://www.aoiportfolios.com/news/?p=1214

Published in an Arsenal programme!

Fame at last!! A painting I created for my sister-in-law's husband was featured in one of last season's Arsenal programmes. A view of the family sitting in their usual box level seats at the Emirates stadium. I titled it "It's all about to kick-off!!" I thought it was quite appropriate considering the content.
