I thought this gentleman was telling tall stories when he told me that he was building a house in Jamaica with 72 windows & 18 roofs! The reason is that it is such a stormy place and the small roofs help to hold the place together.He has a video on YouTube to show the amazing structure.

New Video!

This is a caricature I did of a young Dutch man at The Guildhall Shopping Centre in Stafford in November 2012.

This man was a pleasure to draw, he sat very still and had exactly the sort of head shape I find easier to work from , strong angular bold features, big, deep-set eyes.

Same young man, two different approaches.

Here`s a double colour pastel portrait of 2 good-looking brothers who could be snapped up for a boy band in a few years time. I went a bit wild with their hair.

Here are some of  portraits done over the last few weeks, great variety of people, what characters!

Nationalities include - Ukrainian, Rumanian, Polish, Saudi Arabian & er.. English!

This lovely Chinese girl sat for a quick charcoal portrait at the end of the day just before the shopping centre closed in Luton, I was tired and at first tried to put her off,  but when she pleaded that she would be leaving by plane the next day. I gave in & was glad I did as she was very grateful, even though the portrait had a tired look about it!
