Let's start at the beginning, which goes back to before I was born. My mother said I created cave drawings in her womb, and of course, she should know. Doctors later confirmed this to be true. So from the very beginning, I have been an artist. Maybe one other thing you should know is that I was born and raised in England, from which I escaped many years ago to live in America, where I have remained. O.K. now for the real stuff...

I have been creating illustrations commercially for over 25 years. My illustrations have been published widely in magazines, books, and ad campaigns. My clients include: Businessweek, Time Warner, Sports Illustrated, The Los Angeles Times, U.S. News and World Report, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, TV Guide, House and Garden, Penthouse Magazine, The Washington Post, Bantam Books, L.A. Magazine, CNN, Chase Manhattan Bank, and Architectural Digest.

Until 2007 I was the art director and an illustrator for The Miami Herald, where I worked full-time for 25 years, so I know a thing or two about deadlines. If needed, I can create an illustration in a day. I understand the needs and wants of art directors (so donít be shy to ask) and I will meet your deadlines. A little more time, of course, is always welcome.

I have won numerous awards for my work, including the Print magazine award, Society of Newspaper Design (silver medal for best illustration portfolio), Communication Arts, and American Illustration, to name a few.

So there you have it—good professional work, meeting all deadlines by an ex-Brit...What more could you possibly ask for?...a nice cup of tea, perhaps?
