Otherwise, why paint it?

However, for those who like to have some background information, here are a few of the things that fascinate and inspire me.

The crossover between fine art and illustration. Many of my favourite artists have been illustrators.

The combination of pictures with words and typography. They each contribute in different ways to the message of the complete image.

The classic icons created by celebrities and the roles they play – in sport and politics as well as entertainment.

The balance between the natural qualities of the medium and the way it is used to represent a subject.

The essence of a subject, especially a film, being conveyed in a single poster.

I enjoy combining traditional painting and drawing with digitally created elements like typography.

My years as a creative director in advertising are, not surprisingly, also a strong influence.
