'Owl the Night Demon' A concept picture that I am working on at the moment. This is my studio space, a corner of the room with plenty of light and lots of arm freedom to splatter about. I work out of a shop premises in Sandown on the Isle of Wight. Initially I was looking for a proper studio but alas that type of space does not exist around here, so when this lock up shop came on the market in 2001 I bought it. I wanted to convert it into an art Gallery but there is no demand here, so I just opened it up and started working. I do get some passing trade but not much, not enough really to support me. To make ends meet I go down to my local beach and search for dinosaur fossils which I sell to local collectors.
Inspired by the urban Vinyl designer toy scene, graffiti, Lowbrow, popart and comic art, I spend my days painting, customizing toys, kit bashing, and sculpting. To supplement this lifestyle I have to mootch down to the beach in the worst storms to paint live studies of the sea,I live on the Isle of Wight and this is the only thing the locals will buy.
