” It may be true that preoccupation with time has been the downfall of Western Civilisation, but it can also be argued that conjecture about eternity is a waste of time!” said Quentin Crisp.
So while I ponder on this o so true statement, there is nothing in the world that beats burning the midnight oil on a drawing or painting you want to get right. Some people think what I do is a waste of time because I don’t make any money and it’s self indulgent crap. The old cliche, Art’s for art’s sake is what I have always believed in, unless someone offers me a million dollars for one of my pieces. he! he!
Anyway I work, live and breath with my young family in a leafy suburb in glorious Melbourne, Victoria.
My hometown offers a wealth of ideas but much of my inspiration emanates from the dizzy world of pop culture and history.
I am a sixties child so it was natural for me to be sweep away by the cultural tsunami of music, film and television.
I’m by no means an artistic snob, as I find merit in all facets of art, high brow and low brow, from the Sistine Chapel in Rome to graffitti in the alleyways and byways of media-centric modern cities around the world.
I enjoy sharing my work with people around the world since I believe it is my way of communicating my love for humanity and different cultures.
In addition to my artwork and dabbling with photography and film, I write fictional stories and I am currently in the process of publishing my very first novel after 5 long arduous years.

Detective Inspector Jay Morrow loved his espressos. He sat pensively at the Gran Cafe on the promenade overlooking the natural harbour in Vera Cruz where American battleships docked.
