Book Illustrations and Covers
Currently I am working for a number of publishers, among
them are Black Velvet
Seductions, Pink Flamingo and Desdemona.
The title of Author is
a new one and still feels like a new pair of shoes, not
quite worn in yet! I have been a figurative artist for
the last
twenty years. Art and writing are a big part of my life.
I like to make my art and writing challenging, capturing
something of the unusual. Though I find, the more unusual
you think something is, scratch the surface and you will
find there are more people into it than you ever thought possible.
The writing
My first published story was The Anniversary which
was a part of the Crimson Z supernatural
anthology published in November 2006. The second story, The
Key, was published on the web in February 2007 as
a part of Black Velvet Seductions Valentine's celebration and I am delighted
to see it finally in print with the lead story,Temporally
Yours. This story means a lot to me. Time, it is
a thing that for me there is never enough of. I am by nature
a work-a-holic, my usual working week is 80-100 hours,
that has been the routine for about the last 20 years.
I love what I do, it is as simple as that. When I go on
holiday I take work with me, either art or writing, these
days usually both. I am used to multitasking, I normally
have a couple of writing projects on the go and at least
two art projects all running together. It helps creatively
to switch between them. While writing revisions to Temporally
Yours I started a new story which I
hope will be out very soon. It is called The
Trainer and it explores the dark side of relationships
and the darker side of domination and submission. I hope
it will be as captivating to read as it has been to write.
I am always happy to hear feedback, positive or not. Thankfully
people have been very kind and stay in touch with me via
e-mail or contacting me through Black Velvet Seductions
I joined Black Velvet Seductions as a cover artist and have had the pleasure
of working with many authors and artists. it feels very
much like a family and it is always very satisfying working
as a group.
