Art is my outlet - my relaxation after a hard day's work and also a reason for getting out of bed in the morning. I love the quirky and off-beat, the oddball and the whimsical. In early August, 2005, I made an amazing discovery - one that would change my life. I found Artist Trading Cards (ATCs as they are known). These diminutive works of art measure a mere 2.5 x 3.5 inches and are to be traded, not sold. As a devoted Pokemon Card Collector, and already addicted to art trades, they seemed the perfect hobby. And thus it has been, some four years and over 2000 cards later. My art is now to be found in almost every corner of the world, from the mysterious island of Madagascar to the shores of Chile, Guatamela, Hawaii and the Philippines. It graces the walls of artists all around the world. My own personal collection is spectacular and occupies a great many scrapbooks. For inspiration, I look mostly to nature, but love anything a little bit quirky. On occasion, my own personal characters will make an appearance, but mostly I create on request. I'm willing to try anything and everything and this collection reflects my eclectic spirit. I have drawn everything from a penguin on rollerskates to celebrity portraits.

I hope you enjoy this brief adventure into my imagination.

To celebrate 4 years of ATCs, I shall be releasing a small photobook of a selection of my works, via Blurb. Watch this space, if you're interested. And you can already purchase copies of my "Mammalia ABC" via Blurb as well: [link]
