Illustration is how initially I thought to earn a living but found I liked comic-book folk more than I liked advertising ones. No it wasn't just that, there was also my interest in narrative.
All pictures done on the very hard CS10 board, mostly in water colour with sable brushes. Couple of acrylics to see if I could and one or two drawn with HH pencil.
