Bio: Trained initially as a precision engineer and did a three year apprenticeship before taking up a degree course in illustration and photography. Painted for 10 years after college specializing mainly in caricature, winning the British illustration (AOI) award for humor in 1992. My digital epiphany took place over ten months in 1996, holed up in farm with only pigs, horses and celebrities for company, I still discover something new every day.
