Biography and Technique

I live just outside Brighton, East Sussex, England. My wife (Patricia MacCarthy) is an established illustrator, and my true best friend. We have two boys, Laurie aged 12 and James aged 9 who are brilliant and already love to draw and paint. My main hobby is music, I play guitar, piano, compose and record my own peices. I love to read and go walking on the nearby downland or by the sea.

I have included in my biography below (click on the pages) an extensive account of my life as in illustrator and how I work. This is largely due to the many questions I receive and I hope of interest to new artists out there!
