About
I make drawings of architectural, interesting, sexy, angry, vulnerable, crazy and funny people. These are done on paper, canvas and stylus. I've exhibited at a couple of group shows, am working on a solo exhibition (very slowly) and intend on getting good at drawing very soon.
I've recently moved countries to learn some new things about life, work and everything in between and share my life with the most amazing person I know.

Saul Bass Explains The Price Of Excellence
Another sage once told me that if you just concentrate on the work, the money will follow. Which, to be frank, has worked for me just fine.
(Okay, back to work.)

The Natural Girl
Chris Craymer does a lovely job of capturing the softness in his models. No cheap tricks, just a wonderful optimism (which is a lot tougher than it sounds). I’m not sure who does his styling, or if it’s all his own, but it’s inventive and matches the photos brilliantly.
Enjoy. Click here.

The TV Show
The channels get mixed up in a wonderful, gaming, anime, smorgasbord. The track suits the subject and the experience gets dizzy after a minute. A fun diversion for the whole family.

Laura Laine And The Wandering Line
Laura Laine has a remarkable rhythm to her drawings. They seem to meander into elegant shapes. I find them highly entertaining and quite lovely. I’m quite jealous really.

Emmanuelle Walker Makes Splashes
I’m a big fan of French (via Montreal) illustrators and Emmanuelle is no exception to that rule. Her work at Gobelins and character designs are full of charm and wit. The wallpaper on her homepage is worth the visit: EmmanuelleWalker.com. (Emmanuelle draws a cute girl.)
Her Vimeo page has the “making of” of the animation above if you’re interested. And Blog.
