About me
My pictures, show various scenes, based on the real world, I am very influenced, by all kinds of films and photographs, particularly the most blurred wobbly ones, 1970’s Instamatic snaps of car wrecks, 2011 CCTV night cops. The very worst cheap mobile phone cameras, corny Hammer horror flicks or badly drawn cartoons, but never, using the good photo shots, simply because it seems, a waste of time. Some of these works are natural and organic, with very little photographic influence. Have been a member of HAF since the first meeting in 2003.
My future direction is to be, more realistic, and experimental, whilst retaining the texture and quality of the paint. To Work outside of the studio, much more, whatever the weather is like. However, don’t fancy, tying myself to the mast of a sailing ship, during a violent storm in the English Channel, mainly because I can’t swim, very well.
