about me
I'm the owner of a daft horse, who is the inspiration behind many of my cartoons.
We dabble in dressage, and used to suffer from delusions of show jumping.
The horse enjoys eating, rolling in mud, and ocassional rushes through the scenery.
I had a pretty bizarre accident involving my horse, two electric fences, a hedge, a ruined pair of riding boots and a trip to A+E. While I was feeling pathetic and sorry for myself afterwards, my partner bought me some art materials to cheer me up, and the art side has just snowballed from there.
I started by painting from photos, then did some commissions for friends.
Some of my cartoons have been published in CT Rider Magazine and their show catalogues. These cartoons had been specially produced for CT Rider Magazine to tie in with any of their promotions or special features.
The art is self taught.
I also produce reports for CT Rider.
PHOTOGRAPHY
I've got a camera, and I like taking photos of wildlife and horses, and gradually, I've gone on to take photos at local horse shows and for CT Rider. I've had a photo published in Horse and Hound.
