This one is for Lee
When I uploaded my 'Orange School Chair' drawing a friend got in touch and reminded me of the old dusty board rubbers. Do you remember these? or are you too young :)
The Buckroyds
The Buckroyds exhibition featured the work of 6 artists who have been awarded the Tom Buckroyd Award while studying at the University of Central Lancashire, along with pieces by Tom Buckroyd himself. My artwork 'Pantone Preston' was installed as part of the exhibition by curator David Mackintosh.

Orange School Chair
I have been thinking about things that remind me of my old school days. I happened to be in a high school the other day and noticed a blue version of the exact chairs that I recall from my childhood. It prompted me to do a little coloured pen sketch in the bright orange they used to be. Let me know what you remember and I'll [...]

Air Vents
Out and about with my camera and I started to spot a whole load of air vents in the walls of buildings. Physically non obtrusive features of nearly every building, however the detail and design involved in some of them is very beautiful indeed. They seem to be a feature of both modern and classical [...]
Unexpected Whiteout – Suffolk
I woke up this morning to a complete whiteout of snow. I love snow, it looks so cosy and soft from the safety and warmth of my house. One of the best things about a 'snow day' is staying inside and drinking warm cups of tea, plus checking out if there is enough food to [...]
Bring back the Sugar Mice :)
Sugar Mice - As a small boy I can remember seeing these in a sweet shop in Sothwold. We went there in the holidays with my Mum, Dad, Brother and Grandparents. I can remember pressing my nose up against the window and picking out a colour. When we went back last year the very same [...]

I don't know where my picture will [...]

Old and New
I was given a sketch book by my Grandma a few years back. It was owned by J.W.Miles, my great, great, great, great, great (im not sure how many!) Grandpa's drawing book. I found it on my bookshelf the other day and tried to copy one of the amazing drawings he did, way back in August [...]
