Biography   Clients

I am a professional illustrator and author, working freelance and specialising in science fiction, technology and space. I came into the profession with a scientific background, establishing my business in late 1996. Since then I have written and illustrated five of my own books, and my images have appeared in their hundreds in other books, publications and in advertising. Commissions welcomed.

Method
I use mainly Photoshop, either importing elements from photos or hand-drawing from scratch with a graphics pad. I use 3D also (e.g. 3DS Max, Terragen) but sparingly. And sometimes I work in acrylic or pastels.

Also worth a mention...
I am an elected Fellow of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA), which strives to popularise the genre.
