I’m a artist, illustrator, cartoonist and photographer from Gosport. I work as a caricaturist for events. I also do commissions, and for the last thirty years or so I’ve been draw musicians and performers in my local area live at events.  

I have been involved in the music business for over 35 years as a studio engineer and later specialising more in restoring and mastering recordings. I work for both individual artists and record labels. I have a strong interest in helping to promote music and also helping people with music technology – particularly as a moderator on the Sound On Sound forum. I also have an electronic engineering and computing background which helps me to make sense of much of the new technology that it constantly emerging.
