Now that Gallery X (the pop up gallery my wife and I ran) has ended, I have decided to try my hand at online selling. I don’t know what feels more daunting, having my art in a gallery or selling them online? At least having them online is going to get them seen by a … Read more…
Today is a glorious day and one that has been a long time coming… almost 20 years! I am finally free of the two most oppressive, corrupt, useless and unfair systems I have ever had the displeasure of being involved with. I am, of course, talking about the Family Court and Child Support systems. For … Read more…
Today I am releasing the first photo of my “Chroma Characters” series, which can be seen on my Instagram account and on my photography page, here on the website. Chroma Characters continues on from where Colour Chaos (my previous series) left off. The inclusion of people (and maybe animals) in the images, is what sets … Read more…
The last year has been so much fun, taking photos (and some videos) for my Colour Chaos series. I started out experimenting and not entirely sure of which direction, if any, my photos were heading in. Slowly over a few weeks a style began to emerge, before finally solidifying into the images you know and … Read more…

I can’t believe the exhibition has been and gone already. What a whirlwind! The three days have now turned into one big blur but I learned quite a lot from the experience. One lesson I learned was early on the first day. Lots of people asked if my images were paintings and they all seemed … Read more…
Day three was quieter and slower then the previous two but I still had fun. A few familiar faces had come back with relatives or friends to show them my work and that made me feel quite proud. My favourite part of the three days has to have come today though. My seven year old … Read more…
Day two is done and dusted. It was a quieter day today but the atmosphere was still buzzing. One thing that I have noticed over the last two days is that children are drawn to my images. I see them looking from all over the room. I spoke to one nine year old boy about … Read more…
Just like that, day one of the exhibition is over. It has been an interesting experience, so far. I’ve most enjoyed talking with people about my art and what they see in it and hearing which one is their favourite. Another favourite part was selling a piece. It was an amazing and a slightly surreal … Read more…
