Meeting Doug Chiang at SWCE 2016!

I’ve just returned from my first ever Star Wars convention – not sure why it’s taken me so long to attend one, given that I’ve been a fan since I was 7! I was thrilled to have attended a panel of one of my favourite concept artists; Doug Chiang, who took us through his working processes, and gave a lot of insight into his long running role as a major designer on the Star Wars films – I envy this man’s career history! 🙂 It was wonderful then, to find him near the exit of the convention centre talking to other fans. I couldn’t resist the photo op!

Viral Stargate Meme ‘borrows’ my SGA illustration!

Usually when I come across some of my artwork used elsewhere/improperly, or without permission, I pursue the infringer for their cheek, and in some circumstances, seek renumeration for an unauthorised usage (FAQ on this subject coming soon!).

The new website is live!

After many months without a proper update, and having not been overly happy with my previous choice of WordPress theme, I finally took a couple of days to source a new look, and start the slightly daunting task of creating and importing new galleries/portfolios.

My Website Is Back… well sort of!

In the interests of creating a new, fresher and up to date website in March, I demolished the old one and set about creating its replacement! Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to complete it having become very busy with commercial projects ever since.
