I've lived for many years in Gloucestershire, despite being brought up in Lancashire and working in London for a number of years.
I'm very fond of this county, it is brilliantly beautiful in many ways, and I'm very fond of the people. They go right across the spectrum from the very poshest people you might meet with their accents that are pure cut glass to the opposite where what they say is barely discernible. I love the range of places to visit and have devised a small guide to the true meaning of some Gloucestershire place names entitled : Glossary.
Drawings and writings on this learned subject can be read every month in Cotswold Life, a magazine mainly populated by the well to do and advertisments for eye wateringly expensive hand made kitchens which no one in their right mind would ever cook in. The people who buy these kitchens probably eat out more than most, and not at the local chippie either.
Here are just a few of the drawings and writings from the series. They need the words to make sense, so make sure you read them to get the full gist.
Hope you enjoy, and coming here is much cheaper than Cotswold Life...
ABOUT
I'm a drawer, writer, photographer and allotment gardener.
I've been a professional cartoonist for many years and worked for a very wide range of clients from the very large to the one man band. I've worked on a wide range of projects too from storyboards for TV commercials,to safety campaigns and book jackets as well as the odd idea for magazines. I used to work regularly for the Women's Institute. If only they'd paid me in cake, perhaps not.
My oddest job? I once did a drawing on a TV commercial where my right hand was filmed doing a quick drawing, my right hand was made up and treated to a manicure but the budget did not run to the left.
On this site you can buy images. Either the rights to use specific images on the site, or indeed some original pieces of artwork. The artwork is either cartoon work, artwork from my line drawings collection of landscapes or photographs.
If you're not here to buy, then I hope you find some pleasure at just having a look at my drawings and images. I have a number of originals for sale on Artfinder and hope to be able to offer some from here too in due course from the Shop page.
Thanks for visiting. If you want to take a look at my writings then please fly over to here.
