22.01.2022 What do I do when I lose my mojo, do some meditative drawing. Slows everything down and improves ones observation skills and motor control #drawing #charcoal #meditation #finding my way #itsallabouttone

15.01.2022 A little while ago a gallery wanted to come and do a question and answer session with me in my studio and film it. Needless to say I was somewhat apprehensive but decided to give it a go. Trevor and Robin have done a stirling job and I don't sound too naff at all. Hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaWFGha_zKA
