I trained as an architect and now draw pictures for a living. My work celebrates the best of 21st-century civilisation. Originally from Scotland via Canada, I live in England with the Old Boot and two cats.

My first children's book, THIS IS BIRMINGHAM, was published by Waverley in 2009. View sample pages here. Buy the book here on Amazon.

 

All the non-pencil images on this site are available for sale as prints. If you'd like a print of something that's shown here but not in my shop, just email me. For more details click on buy prints.

 

Please note I now have a blog...go here for daily updates.
