*new signing event confirmed at London 2010 pre-release - see below*

I am an English freelance illustrator, working primarily in the field of Fantasy and Science Fiction. My professional art career started in 1983, when I initially accepted all aspects of commercial advertising, from local brochures to national advertising campaigns, and I began to paint book-covers, including internationally distinguished authors such as Stephen King, Terry Pratchett, Arthur C. Clarke, among many others.

Over the last decade I have produced hundreds of paintings for the collectable trading card game “Magic The Gathering” in co-operation with Wizards Of The Coast who have gone on to become my longest standing and favorite client.

I have had the good fortune to appear at many  events and conventions in countries like Japan, Australia, South Africa, Russia, Malaysia, all over Europe and the USA.

My next signings will be:
