What first attracted you to art? Person, specific event?
I can't remember a time where I havent been attracted to art. I started drawing at a very early age and was captivated by colour and different techniques. My family always encouraged me to be artistic and creative. I gain a great escapism through art and find no greater pleasure than picking up a pencil and drawing.
What did you like to draw draw as a kid, and do you still use those themes?
When I was young I tended to draw characters. They were often more fashion orientated or had a story to their attire. I do still create characters , I would like to think with a lot more consideration.
Which hidden talent do you have? Or what talent do you wish you had?
I wish I could speak more languages. I would love to be able to speak french!
Computer, pencils, paint...What's in your toolkit?
My toolbox consists are of pencils, paints, fineliners,paper or sometimes canvas or wood and my trusty Mac.
Where do you do your work? Any special place?
My work can happen anywhere I happen to have a pen or pencil. From a coffee shop serviette to sitting at my table with all my resources at hand.
Where do you gain your inspiration from?
I gain inspiration from vibrant colours,nature, animation movies and design books. I also gain inspiration from amazingly talented super star illustrators such as Albert Cerrinteno, Mike Perry and Johnny Yanok.
What do you do you do when your not drawing?
When I'm not drawing or illustrating you can find me doing other forms of graphic design or drinking tea and thinking about my next project otherwise in my free time you might find me at the movies eating some popcorn and smarties!
What was one of your biggest hurdles getting to where you are today?
I think time is a major hurdle. There just isn't enough of it! I have so much I want to do but often don't have enough time to get it all done!
What is your favorite food?
I love all foods but I have to admit, to me there is nothing better than a nice plate of macaroni and cheese.
