"My most lasting influences are the numerous unknown enamel-sign artists of bygone years, and the railway poster artists of the inter-war years. They all display a sound technical competence, often with a gentle and confident humour, and above all, a consummate artistic skill. This was an integral part of my creative background.
I’m currently working on a collection of paintings in the style of modern-retro travel posters that I hope will exude that same sense of quiet confidence, humour and optimism; that same promise that all is well with the world.
The inspiration for this collection of work is drawn from a time back along, when the claims and promises made by advertisers reigned supreme and unchallenged over such trivial matters as accuracy, reality or political correctness – not to mention Health & Safety!"
