An Artist's Journey

Making art for art's sake is a wonderful, utopian ideal. Making art for product is something else.

For over forty years I have been creating art for product. Initially, for The Walt Disney Company, then for British comics, and then, back again for Disney, where I have been for the last 30-odd years. This website is a window onto my world.

ABOUT ME

I was head choir boy in the town that I was born, after my elder brother before me. Now, mostly I draw.

My three years at West Surrey College Of Art and Design were complex, yet I experienced some amazing things, and met some amazing people. Specializing in animation was natural, and even today, it is my first obsession.

But for the last 35 years I have been focussed on one thing; applying character art successfully to product, be it softlines, publishing, home, marketing and PR.
