Born in Farnborough, Kent in 1974. I live and work in Bristol. I left the hum-drum 9 to 5 world of the office to become established as a Football Artist. I work as a courier driver to pay the rent and paint in the time I have left in the day.

| 关于此艺术家 |
My artwork is of contemporary images of classic footballing moments. I believe that the excitement and passion of football is interlinked to the art of the beautiful game. I work from digital images and manipulate them, painting them on large 100cm by 80cm canvas in acrylics. My inspirations are to create commissioned work for football clubs in the UK and around the world, of the most memorable moments in their history. |

Hand of God - June 22nd 1986
2006 Acrylic on canvas 90cm x 80cm |
|
Pixelated view of Maradona's infamous goal. |
Zidane - July 12th 1998
2006 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 80cm |
|
Zidane's powerful header from a set piece put the Brazilian's to the sword in this memorable final. I wanted to single out Zidane and the ball in colour to increase the sense of the moment. One of my favourite goals of all time. For a number of reasons, namely, the sheer power of the header and the unstoppable force that ensued from it. The fact the scorer was a 1st generation African immigrant, the inclusion of which into the national side had only really begun to be fully accepted by the whole of the French nation. Sheer drama, passion and beautiful football. |
Owen - September 1st 2001
2006 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 80cm |
|
Owen's celebration after his 3rd goal against Germany. This image for me encapsulates the joy, and shock of a nation after beating Germany 5:1 in their own backyard. |
Rijkaard vs Voller - June 24th 1990
2006 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 80cm |
|
The spitting incident that encapsulated a pretty nasty battle between the Netherlands and Germany in the 1990 finals. |
Best - May 15th 1971
2006 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 80cm |
|
A classic portrait of Best, midway through one of his trademark turns on the ball. |
Pele - June 21st 1970
2006 Acrylic on canvas 90cm x 70cm |
|
Abstract image of Pele's goal in the 1970 final. Italy equalised in the 37th minute but then Brazil became truly magical in their football and beat them 4:1. This is one of my favorites. |
Owen - Novemeber 17th 2004
2006 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 80cm |
|
An exciting action pose as the Spanish defender comes clattering in on Owen. |
Gazza - July 4th 1990
2006 Acrylic on canvas 100cm x 80cm |

Gazza leaving the field after England go out on penalties to West Germany in the 1990 semi-final. |

| 教育程度与个人自传 |
| I'm not formally educated in Art (hindsight is a wonderful thing and if I could go back I would definitely have gone to art college and not done a science degree). Some prints of my work are up in "The Hill" 33-35 Cotham Hill, Bristol. However, my main exhibition was during the World Cup 2006 in the Tobacco Factory, Southville, Bristol (june to july 2006). |
