If you love my images, you might also love the movies I make at http://onviewcinema.org

Since the age of 11, I always wanted to be a comic book artist. That was in 1961. I collected all the Marvel Comics and if I had not sold them to feed myself and my wife when we were broke, I would be a very rich guy today.

I learned I was hopeless at drawing! Took up photography and airbrushing as a passion during ages 26 to 33 and produced my first 10 page published graphic story for a mag called Psst in the UK. Couldn't make enough money to feed my young baby so got a proper job and postponed art until she grew up and got married.

Started again in 2000.

So, in a sense I have managed to ultimately create images through photography and digital manipulation. I suppose that because of my age I wish to leave behind a tiny drop of myself as one of the people who lived at this time, and as one of the first in a massive throng of new artists alive and producing art in the early 21st century.

I publish my own work in books to ensure they are kept in the British Library. Todate, all my work centres on the female form. Many of my images have more serious meanings, others have none.

That's it.
