About my work:

"Why, oh why, oh why don't you just paint things people like ? such as dogs, flowers and local views ?" 

 Years ago, I tried to please people with my painting: it ended up with me painting maybe 10-15 large "crowd-pleaser" paintings a day (Yes: a day) which would sell on Ebay or our own gallery. They were beautifully done, I'm proud of every one I painted because people really liked them. But it was soul-destroying.

I am very much an outsider artist. I don't really "do" art societies, arts groups or arts councils. Not that the buggers would really want someone like me there. Sadly, I have an inbuilt "bullshit detector" and tendency to speak my mind. Not factors that endear me to the "Arts Establishment".

These days my output is purely what I want to paint. It usually has some sort of story behind it. My work usually contains plenty of pitch-black humour. It's not for the feint hearted or people worried about what their friends in the local golf club would think.

     I'm based at BLACK MOUNTAIN GALLERY a studio / gallery I set up as a family business back in the 90's.It's based in a sprawl of ex-industrial buildings in the Wilds of Wales (UK)

Ever noticed how some people give you a funny look when you mention you own an acid bath ?

Weirdos...
