A sweet shop up t'north somewhere.

First draft for a set of illustrations for a children's book I'm involved with at the moment. We're hoping to get it published and then.................the sky's the limit!

Robin Friday - Legend

My tribute to the greatest Reading footballer that ever lived.................and probably the greatest you never saw!!

Heroes like Bogart?

Do we consider film stars like Bogart to be heroes, let alone worthy of high definition? Maybe, or maybe not? I think maybe from my point of view, high definition at least................

(see below)

Betjeman - Friendly Bombs?

This is a piece of self promotional work I intend to send to Slough Council. Have always been interested in this view of Slough by the famous poet. Bracknell has suffered from unfair opinions in the past and I sympathize with Slough, believe it or not! David Brent made some good points!!!

House Portraits

Are you proud of your house, holiday home, villa abroad no less? I can provide a painting you can cherish forever or even give as a gift to a friend or loved one.

The house above is one example and the owners kindly gave me this testimonial:-

“ Steve has an amazing talent that spans photo realism through to what one might consider a more realistic style. The painting of our house is simply stunning”

How kind of them (only cost me £5 for that!!..........joke!)

Nostalgic Art?

Ever thought of giving a piece of art that remembers the good old days of your family or work times? A gift for retirement, anniversary, birthday, celebrating an award. Just give me your photos, a little background information and off I go! Spread the cost amongst friends, family or colleagues and I become quite affordable. 

Past & Present Bracknell

These "Past & Present" images of Bracknell appear in an exhibition in Brooke House ( the home of Bracknell Town Council ) Open from 1st July 2009. It celebrates the 60 year anniversary of Bracknell being designated a New Town in 1949. A small market town known for it's brick making is almost completely unrecognizable apart from a few listed buildings which remain. The pub "The Red Lion" can be seen in the top right hand image. I have produced a few of these including some of Reading and intend to do a few more.
