Another month of sculpting, and I am in the final stages of finishing my Obsidian the Panther, (Sid to his friends).
He will soon be delivered to the foundry ready for exhibition in September.

Pegasus has been cast and patinated, and now looks resplendent on his honed limestone base.
I will be at Art in Action from the 21-24th July in the illustration tent, come and pay me a visit!

Art of the Imagination will be showing all my bronzes and a selection of my original artwork at The NEC in Birmingham, tickets available from their website.

A selection of my bronzes are soon to be shown in association with Art of the Imagination at THEARTHOUSE GALLERY, which exhibits an ever changing collection of original contemporary and modern fine art. Visit them at 22 Post Office Square, Bournemouth, BH1 1BA.

June update

June sees the release of my new limited edition prints, Celeste and Celeste Gold.
This month I have begun another new sculpture, a panther! It is still in the early stages but I hope in a few weeks time he will be regal and mighty and will sit well with my growing collection of bronzes.

The Artists Copy of Nemeses the bronze griffin is all that remains following the sale of all 12 of the edition - so if you have been holding out and deliberating whether to offer the piece a home now is the time to take the plunge
