I draw to preserve my sanity.

I have always been a compulsive doodler and, encouraged by friends, I started to show them more of my work. After lots more encouragement and lots more drawing I started sending images to people who I had a vague notion might be interested in using them.

Lots of knockbacks followed but the encouragement persisted and increasingly people I didn't know showed an interest.

My drawings have since been used in training materials, magazines, trade union campaigns and a book.

I use issues I feel passionate about, things that interest or intrigue me and bizarre situations that I encounter to provide subject matter. The pictures on this site probably reveal more about me than words ever could.

When I am not drawing i'm a dad, a paraglider pilot, a Scunthorpe United supporter and, occasionally, a mental health social worker.
