I studied Graphic Design at Blackpool College of Art and later studied Illustration at Wimbledon College of Art, London. After graduating in 1971 I was employed as the Illustrator for a small design studio in Soho, London.
In 1976 I decided to go 'freelance' and went on to have a very successful career as an Illustrator, winning a DADA award for my Illustrations and also featuring in several Association of Illustrators annuals.
In 1990 I moved back 'up North' to the Fylde coast, where I now live with my wife Pauline. I have had to move with the times and all my commercial illustration was done digitally. It was this fact and the downturn in the economy that was the motivation to return to my first love, watercolour painting, I finally retired my illustration career in 2017.
