•About the Art:

Most of the work is inked with a Windsor & Newton series 7 sable brush (size. 2) and a dip pen (sizes 659 & 303;).
I generally use Higgins Black Magic ink on A3 Bristol Board. Colouring and most lettering is done with Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and a Wacom Graphire on an Apple Mac.
Some of the older images were coloured with watercolour and acrylics.
