Peaceful Prospects 2007 (ink)
An open book has its optimistic and critical spaces, complexity and perspective can become foreign objects at a moments notice.

Bae Abermaw 2007 (ink on paper)
The second of two pictures of a hotel on a hill in Barmouth. Click for large scale version.
Living Moments 2007 (pen on A1 paper) Prints available!
A development of a group of images based on randomisation of mark-making in a controlled technique of limited forms. Overall, it is to do with movement and active reasoning based on personal opinion.
Barmouth Square 2007 in pencil
One of a series of drawings based on basic shapes, simplicity up against complexity.
Harlech Castle 2007 in pencil
This is from the Panoramic view in Harlech, Snowdonia, overlooking Cardigan bay and the Llyn Peninsula. Perhaps it was intended to be a practice piece only as I have seen countless paintings done from this very spot depicting the castle as it stands here.
Fire 2005
This a set of drawings I did in relation to coming up with the idea for an alternative cover for iD magazine, not one I ever thought I would enjoy reading, as it's subject matter leant in a different direction to my own, but I kind of enjoyed it for its vaguenesses and even celebrated it in my own fashion. Of course, I never had it published and doubt that the idea was even seen by the magazine people.
Brown ink drawing in sketchbook 2007
In my personal opinion, keeping a regular sketchbook is one of the most important parts of becoming and mainting an artist status. It is a privelage once you have finished a successful image and even more so when it effects your day to day life in one way or another. Drawing is perhaps my most enjoyable pastime within the subject of art itself, it is the reason I go to cities like London, in order to visit the Galleries and to re-enthuse myself with the philosophy of creating ideas and reasoning with the mind. To push the imagination and storm your own mind somehow seperates the mad underworld of existance from the grand enlightenments that justify so much work.
Trebaugh Gardens, Cornwall 2004
Inspired by a commercial garden in Cornwall that covered many acres, this place contained tropical and local plants of all kinds, including a large pond containing fish. On one edge of the land the garden finished with a path down onto a small beach on the Southerm coast of England. Of course, there is a face in the landscape, I suppose this you can read into it from that angle also. following a path off into the bay where waits a ship, then fall back into the image in the trees.
Sketchbook ideas 2006
Ever since my Graphic Design course I have been interested in the invention of text itself, how the concept was initially approached and its intimate connection to caves and walls. I was also keen to see what would happen if I clustered similar pen drawings together in a small space and created detail through concentrated areas. This I drew shortly after reading an English version of the Koran, interesting yet somehow seemed to me, delusional and unsignificant and many ways.
Driveway 2006
This was a place I was living for a year. In the centre over the small hillock there is a meeting place and through the gateway you come to a small stream that has been recently given a small wooden bridge for the tractor that mows the grass in the field. I drew this image, mainly to develop my drawing of cars, something that was bugging me for a long while
Two people 2006 (Ink)
This was at a difficult point in the year when I felt very clostrophobic, the weather was always changing and the intensity of the sun wasa great issue even in these Welsh surroundings. The main reason for drawing this was probably personally motivated, exoression of inner feelings and feelings of having little control over what is going on.
Hill at the Back 2006 (Pencil drawing)
This hillside I have grown up with, there are a large number of birds that gather in this particularly area, as I drew I could see Crows and a buzzard flying around the area on the top left. Although the top may look quite high, it is actually only a ten minute walk to get to the top and has a very pleasant view over Cardigan Bay looking towards the peninsula of Wales and in the night you can see Criccieth and many of the coastal towns on a clear night.
