The colour blind artist’s blog.
This blog shows announcements, pieces I’m working on,

There’s also some interesting entries from the old website:
BIG NEWS!
It has always frustrated me that, until now, I have not been able to offer embellished reproductions of my 'Reflections' metal works actually on metal. However, after some recent trials/testing/file tweaking, I can now offer these frankly amazing quality pieces....
And just like that, 15 years passed by…
And just like that, 15 years passed by...It's hard to believe, but today marks fifteen years since the gallery door was first opened. April 1st 2006 I was 28 years old, taking a risk on doing the job I wanted to, full time. Thankfully, it paid off and it's been a hell...

‘David’ – The Lost Boys. Metal artwork
So, fans of one of the greatest vampire movies ever made, here you go:A mixed media on metal piece, of Kiefer Sutherland's character, 'David', from The Lost Boys. This took a LOT of hours and lots of layer building, whilst trying to always let the metal come through....

Freddie Mercury / Queen Live at Wembley Stadium
I was recently commissioned to do my take on the very famous pose by Freddie Mercury, during the iconic Wembley concert. I decided to do this on metal, using the built up layers of colour to give the piece a real luminosity. It was pretty big, at 150cm x 75cm. Here's...
Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 12. The End.
Let us don our warrior garb and do battle, this one last time… LEJOG Day 12 Thurso – John o’ Groats. 27.5 miles. 13.2mph average. 29.5mph max. Stats, pah. What really matters is this is the end. About eighteen months ago, myself, Robin and Russell starting planning...
Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 11
LEJOG Day 11 Brora – Thurso 65.6miles. 14.3mph average. 34mph max. Well, that started off as a nice bimble! Actually the A9 is a dodgy Road so we couldn’t really relax for the first ten miles or so, then made a turn and went into the mooooors…… Great sweeping roads...

LEJOG Day 10 Laggan – Brora 98.1 miles. 16.1mph average. 37.1 max. Tough, tough day. Let’s start with the good. The weather was amazing, clear skies, beaming sunshine again later in the day. Ride alongside Loch Ness. Tick! The bad. Near as dammit 100 miles, killer...

Land’s End – John o’ Groats diary – Day 8
LEJOG Day 8 Kilmarnock – Inverary 83.6 miles. 16mph average. 38.1mph max. Dunno why I bother with the stats really, they don’t really matter to me or you I doubt!! It’s all about the pics right. Well there’s a few. Misty start again today, first water stop at 27...
