I've been drawing since I was five, and occasionally as time passed I discovered I could make some drawings look like the things they represented..magic!

Its the quickest easiest and most fun way of making things that you would like to appear, appear.

You can re-make the world anyway you want it to be, or analyze the world as it is.You can lose yourself and sometimes that is a very good thing.

It's often a separating activity though and hopefully his site will make it less so.

Watercolour is my favourite medium. Pure pigment captured in the sap of the Acacia tree, the colours then released with a wet brush on pulped and dried vegetable fibres, to recreate human dreams. 

Watercolour can last for many years but it is unpredictable and only open to gentle persuasion, rather than demand and control. Watercolours split, bleed, change colour, they imply, hint and allude rather than state. When using watercolour it feels more collaborative rather than determinative, more like a conversation than a directive.
