This is a Dennis lorry rebuilt from what anyone else would consider scrap metal, from parts sourced from as far from the UK as Australia and New Zealand. The original photo was taken by one of this man's sons.

Life can be more than one can deal with.

This was actually taken using the webcam on wifie's laptop when she was in Chicago running a course for teachers. The hardest part is trying to figure out what is going to work and what will not. If I played it safe then it would be just another rendition of other people's work, and if I take too much of a risk it would be so different it could alienate people. Ever wondered why artists get drunk?

Ania Portrait

A portrait of Ania based on an image taken with a phone camera, edited to make it an abstract expressionist work.

There is a trend these days for artists to fully damage the face of an otherwise normal portrait. I see them everywhere. To me, I have always damaged the images, but the whole image, and not because it is trendy and might increase any sales I might have. My images scrape along with the minimum amount of detail to produce a distinct image, everything else being abstract.

I would rather encourage people to open their imagination further than their wallets or purses.
