Ever since I was a toddler getting caught drawing on freshly painted walls, I’ve always loved the power and fun of images. Cartoons and comic books, rave flyers and gig posters, WW2 photos, 80s smoking ads, Playboy magazine, Escher, Van Gogh, anything, as much as I could get…..So getting paid to paint in ‘Shop and create something new from photos is a fact I’ve always treasured. As long as I have a dark studio and endless music to keep me company, I am happy burning away the night getting that picture just right. I may not care much about cameras but I know how to make your images go that step further in attracting attention. Try me. I’m good at colouring in.
