I love painting animals and sword & sorcery when I get the chance and I'm trying to work on some sketches where I combine the two when I get the chance to sketch. I've done a few tattoo designs for some friends and use this to influence my work, my kids keep me pretty busy when I'm not working in security at Gatwick Airport. I also hope to create a website and good bio for myself as I'm not very good at writing these yet.
