I have been working as an illustrator since 1988. I love what I do and people tell me I am easy to work with.
I have always loved drawing people and the majority of work here is from my ongoing "Happy Birthday" series where I do an illustration of a famous/ well known person to celebrate their birthday.
I work in both traditional and digital media and can supply you with the physical artwork or a high resolution digital file.

110th Anniversary of Roald Amundsen Reaching the South Pole
·On December 14, 1911, Norwegian Roald Amundsen becomes the first explorer to reach the South Pole, beating his British rival, Robert Falcon Scott. For this portrait of Amundsen I want to make it have the look and feel of an old document that has seen a lot of exploration. This is part of my on-going series of portraits of famous people on their birthdays.
