I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia where I have two studios and have a third studio in Fitzroy Melbourne which I visit several times each year to do street art. I primarily like to work with ink on paper, but am versed with oils and acrylics and enjoy making and using collage and creating sculpture. I am a self represented full time artist. My illustrations, cartoons and artworks have been reproduced in books and other printed periodicals. My work has been acquired and is included in interesting private,corporate and public collections and many Hotels throughout the world. ![]() I have held several solo exhibitions, and have been included in numerous group and collective shows. I was employed and served as an 'illustrator reprographic' in the Australian Army, This job included regimental photography and related darkroom procedures, endless map and other drawings old skool freehand and 3d model making.
