He passed away in 2008 and left behind a staggering amount of work – a small handful of which is featured here.

I’d like to say a big thanks to Trevor Johnson at Creative Lynx, Caroline Roberts at Grafik, and everyone who contributed to the article.

More on my Dad and his work coming soon… keep an eye out!

Scary how long it’s been but what a nice thing it is to just draw. Can’t beat it. I definitely plan to do more in future – hopefully I’ll be able to get the pencils out for a client project too. Anyone?
