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’).

170-175 Strictly Sketches






I thought it would be a good exercise to do a group picture of some of the Strictly Dancing cast so these are 'the start' of my trying to get a likeness sketches. I'm a big fan of the 'Mad' comics and artists like Mort Drucker and Tom Richmond and would love to do a picture in a similar style.
