Drawing & Illustration
Drawing has always been essential to me. As a child, I drew endless faces, characters, strange animals and scenes. My mum used to get stacks of paper from the local butcher (who used it for wrapping meat) as I would get through piles of it. As a teenager, I went through a little dark phase of drawing sometimes angry, violent things and people would look confused and say ‘but he’s such a nice boy?’ Later I attained a B.A in art and design in London where I specialised in Illustration and Photography. After that my desire to record the world visually then led me to travel extensively and I created journals and books of my journeys. I’ve also regularly attended life drawing sessions and workshops to further my practice. Drawing is my meditation - a safe internal space where the ‘chatter’ ceases.
