I live in Cranebrook, Penrith NSW Australia, where I pursue digital illustration as a hobby which runs parallel to my real role as a graphic designer.

I've been working on the computer for a number of years now, developing and experimenting with ideas and how to employ them in my work. Nearly all my artwork shown here has been created using a variety of programs such as Illustrator, Xara X, Photoshop, Vue d'Espirit and others. Some of my early cover designs and internal artworks where however done the old fashioned way with pencil, pen and ink.

My favorite theme is Science Fiction and Fantasy. On this site you will find a portfolio of my illustrative works, I hope you enjoy everything this site has to offer! Feel free to drop me a line via email and visit my Website.

I first got interested in computer graphics when I got a copy of CorelDRAW 3 many, many moons ago.  The day I saw an advertisement for Xara (version 1) I just had to have it. The transparency options had me hooked right from the start. With the advent of Xara X and all the new options I am even more hooked than I was at the beginning.

I really only use Xara X as a hobby, although I do some creative work in it for my job, as IT Manager for a plastics manufacturing company, mainly to liven up training manuals. The marketing department at the company also use Xara X to design leaflets, newsletters and 'how to' posters, since I showed them how easy it is to use.

I really enjoy designing family birthday cards and creating collages of the many photos I take of my 4 granddaughters.

I cut my teeth on CorelDraw 3 and built a graphic design business around it... but when I wanted to move into web graphics I found nothing could beat Xara! I love the flexibility, power and freedom Xara offers me. I recently accepted a position lecturing graphics and print technology and was so frustrated dealing with Macs and Illustrator that I wanted to show my students what a decent vector drawing program SHOULD be able to produce!
