About

Allow me to introduce myself.

After spending a considerable amount of time involved in researching defence and foreign policy for foreign governments, writing countless speeches, reports, and numerous things in-between, in the lead-up to my half-century I decided I needed a sea-change.

For some, that involves selling up, moving out, and doing something that up-ends their life completely so as to make a definitive break with their past.

That's not me (yet), but I wanted to tap into a latent desire to create things that had laid dormant in my mind for some time.

So in taking up a range of digital art disciplines, I'm on a journey of exploration, seeing just how well I can convey what's in my mind into pixels on a screen.

Some things will work, some won't, but it's all in the eye of the beholder (that's you).

Everything on this site has been created by yours truly, although I will try to imitate some pictures (particularly digital art) that I like and have tried to re-create by hand. In such circumstances, I will acknowledge where I got the idea from so you can compare my work with the original.

Life is too short to be bound to one discipline, so I'll experiment across a myriad of styles (although I have a soft spot for antiquarian art styles and mid-century fonts!).

So thanks for dropping by, and now go and have that cup of coffee you've been craving.

Greg.

Websites

Believe it or not (as an exercise in free will!) but I have been trying my hand at making websites for a while now. Below are some of the sites I have created in the past. They are quite different to this one, so there's an incentive to take a further look.
