These days, I draw digitally using a computer. In fact, the computer has completely revolutionised my working life! It created, and maintains this online portfolio; enquiries and commissions come via email; I draw digitally, and send my work out as print-ready email attachments; or if necessary, write to CD, and post.

Importantly, I also speedily find visual reference material using the Google image-search engine. Using a Wacom tablet, or Cintiq, with a laptop computer means that I can quite literally work from anywhere in the world, whilst remaining in touch with my clients.

In my studio, I have a Desktop G4 Apple Mac, and an Apple MacBook laptop for when I'm on the move. (Check for bargains with suppliers like Macwarehouse).

I have several different sized Wacom Graphic tablets, although I now work almost solely with the fabulous "Cintiq", which is like a tablet and monitor combined. It's important to have sufficient memory for drawing with software applications. Crucial Technology UK, is well set up for supplying this.

I draw using Adobe Photoshop, and I created, and maintain this website with Adobe Dreamweaver.
