| | | Artist profile
I am a self-taught freelance artist based in Nottingham.
I have been living in Nottingham for 18 years in Mapperley Park.
I decided to come to Nottingham because of a job opportunity do to with graphics design. The company I worked for went bust so I decided to go freelance - I have general experience in graphics and advertising, including posters book covers and magazine features.
My particular skills are high quality airbrush artwork. Like many artists I was influenced as a teenager by the old masters Chester Bonestell, and Salvador Dali etc. I am also a big fan of the film titled - 2001 Space Odyssey - I liked the early 1970s retro-futuristic look. This got me into science fiction and science fact - just the right stuff to experiment with.
I call myself Cosmic Art because I was getting a lot of freelance work from companys - Astronomy Magazine, Astronomy Now, New Scientists - I also got some work from the late Carl Sagan who had His own TV show Called the Cosmos.
Most of my paintings depict the future of the human race and science nature.
My paintings have been shown in the Castle Museum, I had a exhibition in Norwich School of Art and at the Serpentine Gallery, London. I also get work from authors like Nigel Henbest and Heather Couper doing their book covers.
