Full time airbrush-artist, fine artist and muralist. Mural painter for Channel 5's Cowboy Builders. I organise a weekly life drawing workshop in Preston and visit many others around the country as I travel with my work. I Launched LifeART in 2007 as a result of my own frustrations in finding life models on the web. I'm currently based in the UK but planning on emigrating to Colorado once visa issues are sorted.

I have modelled for one or two groups over the years and occasional private sittings but I am generally way too hooked on sitting at the sketchy side of the easel to actively seek further modelling work. I think all tutors should try life modelling at some point in their lives to gain the fullest respect for the model.

I am a self taught Northern English artist who has developed a fresh contemporary style with my figurative compositions. My work has appeared in London’s Tate gallery and local exhibitions as well as various television programmes and numerous publications. Born in Lancashire in 1970, I have been a full time artist for over fifteen years specialising predominently in murals and custom painting. This has given me a steady platform from which to further develop my fine art. Over the years, much of my work has featured in local and international media and it has recently gained me celebrity interest and further exposure. I am currently focusing more of my time into supplying galleries with my fine art prints and original works.

Besides art, I have a big interest in photography. My parents are second generation photographers and as a kid I used to wonder just what they got up to in that bizarre blacked-out room. I have always loved art way too much to spend too much time snapping but I am happy to arrange TFP/TFCD studio and location shoots for models (just ask). Other interests include fell walking in the Lakes, the Scottish Highlands, the Peak District or more locally the Forest of Bowland. I love sunny beaches and I am a big fan of wildlife (especially birds).

Horror and short stories but I find it difficult to relax enough to read that often.
|
|
I like a good plot with believable action. Comedies, Action, Thrillers, even a bit of Rom Com. I liked the original Wickerman for its brave ending.

The 80s was my era so electro does it nicely. Depeche, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure etc.
In more recent times Lady Gaga.
Other tastes include Elton, Wacko, Madonna, U2, Garbage, Faithless...

Sienfeld, Frasier, Everybody loves.., Mock The Week, Harry Hill,... Did I mention I like the funny stuff?
I'm also glued to current affairs and topical debate; Question time, Panorama etc etc...
