How I got started

I am often asked how I found my style and how I got into drawing, and after spending some time thinking about it I realised it all began when I was 14 years old. I had just had two major surgeries on my eyes, to correct my sight cosmetically. However, they left me with chronic double vision – which I still suffer with now, over 40 years on. It was during my recovery period that I renewed my love for drawing, as it was a great way to pass the time.

Much like Peter Parker becoming Spiderman, I began to notice that I had developed a new style and my passion for drawing had greatly increased since my surgeries, and I was almost able to completely replicate images through black and white – which I wasn’t able to do prior to the operations.

Since then, I have worked with this style on and off throughout my career, and worked to hone this skill further by specialising in aviation themed works.

Overall, my specialty is highly detailed black and white pencil drawings, and whilst I do enjoy aviation and military style works, I am able to use over 40 years of experience to illustrate many other subjects.
