GENERAL INTERESTS? ...
Painting (Artwork not door frames) Drawing, etc. Learning about me and those around me, especially the furry/feathered ones. Learning new life values day by day. Socialising at moments outside the arena of "Compulsary Enjoyment".
Music
I adore deep blues and gutzy rythms. Music that sends shivers down my spine. Music to cuddle up to. Music that makes me think and music that makes me forget everything around me.

DO YOU HAVE A PHOTO YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE RECREATED AS ART? - WHY NOT EMAIL ME FOR A QUOTE ...
A clue? An original, signed, A3 Colour pencil work on high quality art paper would be around £130.00 Delivery available World-wide. Oils and Airbrush work would be about twice that. Email for details, please.
In the meantime, here's a quick view of my work ... See My Pics for a better look!
IF YOU HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY ME IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'RE AN ARTIST OR PHOTOGRAPHER WHO'S WORK I ADMIRE, OR A PERSON WHO I WOULD WANT TO CAPTURE IN MY ART OR SOMEONE I JUST THINK I COULD GET ALONG WITH.
(0: ... HOPE THAT'S NOT A CRIME ... :o)
Please comment on my work in MyPics if you have a moment - Thank you.
MY PERSONALITY TYPE? I am An ENFP (apparently!)
The Inspirer
You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.
You are also unconventional, irreverant, and unimpressed by authority and rules.
Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.
You use lots of colourful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!
You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.
MODELS AND SHOULD BE/WOULD-BE's WHO WOULD LIKE ME TO CAPTURE A LITTLE OF THEIR SOUL THROUGH MY ART.
FELLOW ARTISTS & PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO SHARE MY PASSION.
ANYONE WHO FEELS WE COULD GET ALONG.
THESE ARE THE REASONS THIS PAGE EXISTS.
BEYOND THAT ...
Kate Bush - to say "Thank you". Tom Peters - to shake his hand. Tony Blair - to offer repect for his staying power. Robert Plant - just because ... Eckhart Tolle - to feel his aura. Laetitia Casta - for reasons you probably would not believe.
John, thank you for all your hard work towards the Sara Moon site. The pictures are astounding. From the very small beginnings you have achieved an enormous amount and brought Bijan to the very forefront once again. Thank you.
Hello John! Just keeping in contact and hoping all well with you. Have been spending the last few days cleaning and restoring some of my late eldest brother's oil paintings. Brings back a lot of very pleasant memories of sitting in his studio just outside Cambridge chatting art and watching the pheasants in his garden. Regards, A, C and J
Hello, John :) How have you been? I guess I have not visited my art profile for a long time, haha Being busy is good in a good way I guess. I'm the same as usual.
Thanks for taking the time and reading my ranting and raving - On a side note, I published a few books through Iuniverse a few years ago. Maybe I am too hard on the editors, but they too didn't live up to my standards - which is why I switched publishers, and to my surprise the got bit in the ass again. Nevertheless, I enjoy writing and maybe I'll start my own editing service.
Much respect for the bond of creativity - keep me posted on the release of your book.
Thank you! I somehow didn't see that Def Leppard cameo pic this morning, so it was a nice suprise! Is it ok if I put that on my page, with your name, of course? Love it!!
I uploaded a few new (old) sketches and whatnot today. Inspired! Thanx again!
I found you from an ad on facebook and looked at all your art. WOW! I love the cameos the most! How do you DO that? I have to know! And do you have any of famous people? Is the one you sent me Robert Plant? Kinda looks like him :) And thanx for the comments on my paintings! I love imput from other artists!
