Welcome



“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.

(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

203 - Stormtrooper Patrol


This picture started off as a pencil sketch of Al Williamson's Stormtrooper Patrol from the book, 'Star Wars Illustration'. I changed things around mainly to accommodate the widescreen format sketchbook that I used. In the book, the original is a pen and ink drawing but once I got my sketch inked and scanned into the computer, I couldn't resist the temptation to colour it. The book is brilliant, full of inspirational artwork, I love it.
