About
I originally come from Hyde, Cheshire, I am
currently based in Wolverhampton.
I was a printer for quite a few years before leaving
and doing what I wanted to do which was always
going to be art based in some way. As a kid I loved
to draw, paint and spent many hours making model
kits and painting miniature figures. This was also
where my long time interest in dinosaurs began,
making some rather strange looking and very
inaccurate model kits of them. I think this also
gave me an appreciation for both 2D and 3D work.
Having completed a degree in 3D design ceramics
I worked for several years as a web designer
(something I fell into completely by accident)
where I realised how useful the computer had
become in the production of artwork. I now use 2D
and 3D in this virtual world.
My work now falls into two main areas. 3D visual
work for such things as exhibition design, set
design and architectural visualisation and the more
traditional illustration which can cover just about
anything really (though my love of dinosaurs and
all things prehistoric seems to be taking over that
section). you can also add to this a smidgen of
graphic design, web design and logo creation.
For now I'm continuing to improve my technique
and 3D modelling skills. There is also a growing
urge to do some traditional painting and drawing
again when time allows.
Services
Illustration
I can Create general illustration and graphics for
books, magazines etc. in a variety of styles. If you
have a specific project in mind which you think this
my be suitable for I would be happy to discuss this
with you.
3D Visuals
I can produce accurate artistic impressions from
cad plans and elevations in either full colour or
black and white.
These could be views of overall sites, individual
buildings or a view tailored to your requirements.
These are produced using various computer
software and involve creating a detailed 3D model
of building which can be rendered in various styles
and if needed from different views.
Low resolution versions can be emailed to the client
as the job progresses.
The finished artwork can be supplied as an high
resolution image on CD which will be suitable for
various printing uses. Files can be supplied in
various formats including Adobe PDF, Adobe
Photoshop PDF, JPEG or Tiff.

then be worked out when the requirements of a
