Ever in search of another creative project, a new one has surfaced that allows both of us at home to work in parallel.

We sat grabbing a café solo (espresso) at our favourite restaurant last week in Dénia: Manduka. An ideal opportunity to grab a pen and sketchbook.
There I was, scribbling away nothing more interesting (to most) than the view directly ahead of me, over the nearby tables and along the street towards Dénia’s port and town. About [...]

Finally, after great deliberation, dead ends, and false starts, I’ve created a place for my illustrations, drawings and other art to live:
aUniqueSpace.co.uk
The site has no preview thumbnails, it’s a ‘journey’ through various artworks – mostly those within my main Moleskine sketchbook. I have also added some text beneath each one. These texts may give you [...]

The idea behind Table Rappers originally developed as a television screenplay sometime around 2002.
At that time, the characters and their world were developed, a television series ‘bible’ created, and second draft screenplays for the first two episodes written.
