Crazy start to the New Year.
Loads of illustration work to get on with and then the unexpected invitation to have
two of my images included in the fantastic art show Imagined Worlds in Los Angeles, Hosted by
Hero Complex Gallery. The two images are “More Human Than Human” and “Three Tasks” and are now available to buy as Limited Edition Giclee Prints!

Really excited to be a part of this show and more news to come about future shows as and when I can post the details.
Thanks for all the lovely support here on deviantArt you are all super stars!!

To each and everyone of you that has added me to there deviantWAtch or added an image to there favourites/Collection or given a Llama.
Even if you just dropped by to have a look, I want to send a a massive thank you, it really means the world and is very much appreciated!!
So I wish you all a wonderful holiday time and may the New Year bring you all the love and joy in the world!! x

Following on from the work I did on CSR Racing and the massive success, over 70 million downloads world wide !! One of the projects I've been working on for the last 6 months or so has been CSR Classics
"Race the greatest cars ever made, and restore them to their former glory!"
I've done artwork that appears all over the game but my main focus has been the characters, of which there is over 30!!

The game launched world wide on Thursday and went straight into the editors choice on the App Store, a fantastic start!
You can download it for free from here CSR Classics

I have to say a big thanks to all the developers, Boss Alien, Natural Motion and Mad Atom for the trust and freedom given to me to just have so fun designing the characters!

As from today I can start posting some of the images, please check out the gallery if your interested!

Cheers
The Inker.

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to say a massive thanks for all the support I've been receiving here on DA and elsewhere.
The messages and kind words have been so lovely and completely overwhelming!!
I really and truly appreciate every message, Fav, Collection Add and LIama that has been given.
I am trying to get around to saying thanks to you all, it's just going to take awhile as there have been so many.

Also As and when I can I'm doing my best to create new work to post, I have a few projects that I can't post just yet but
between working o them I'll do as much personal work as possible, in the meantime I'll post some stuff that you may not have seen before.

Once again thank you all so very much the response has been stunning!
Lastly for anyone interested you can following me on Tumblr or drop by my FaceBook page, the links and just below.
