I am,  among other things, a digital painter. I create drawings and paintings (mostly abstract and/or expressionist) using a computer. Main influences are Expressionism, exemplified by the German Schools, such as Die Brucke, Der Blaue Reiter, and the Bauhaus, as well as the American Abstract Expressionist Movement with Pollock, Rothko, Newman, de Kooning et al. Strong as they as for me, however, these are just influences not specifications. When all is said and done, it’s the image itself and its aesthetic that I’m primarily concerned with. And, most of the time, I let the image do the bulk of the talking in the creative conversation until when, near the end, I feel I finally understand the image enough to take full control over the last few words of the discourse. I try to let all the elements have a say; line, colour, texture, composition. I’m particularly fond of the unique fingerprints left by digital work (much like working in oils and leaving the paint drips and smudges in place). In the end though, my work tends to be diverse in subject, style and technique. This is fine by me. My purpose is to give birth to images and each of these is driven by its own unique DNA imprint which governs its development. And, if they are all different and unique, I find that infinitely more satisfying than pumping out endless sets of clones.


Moving on to the more mundane area of commerce, yes, my works are for sale (and yes, I do try to make a living out of this). Note that although all works shown here are original digital paintings or drawings, the prints of these being offered for sale are exclusive and unique and one print is only ever made of each image. The prints themselves are high quality, fine art giclee prints, either on paper or on canvas. Prints on paper are framed under Perspex. Canvas prints are almost always unmounted and will, therefore, require stretching and mounting after purchase. Each exclusive print is signed, either on the front or on the back and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity verifying it to be the one and only print of the digital painting. If you have any questions or comments regarding any aspect of my work, please email me.
