Night Shyamalan, The Company of Wolves, Leon, Sleepers, The Shawshank Redemption, The Fog (original).
Television
Heroes, Lost and similar, not really a great lover of TV otherwise.
Books
I’ll read anything once. Prefer accessible, mainstream fiction with thrilling adventure and interesting new ideas that push credibility beyond our comfort zone. Be that in a scientific, supernatural or disturbing way. Dislike hardcore horror. Tired of done to death orcs and goblins, fantasy epics with unpronounceable race and place names. ‘Star Wars’ space operas not my thing, neither are spoof comedy novels. They’re all great and enjoyable, I’ve just had my fill. Classic authors such as Tolkien and Lovecraft I liked, without the need to place them under the literary microscope for analysis.

Short stories are wonderful to read. I also enjoy quality glossy magazines. Some of them on the market today are real works of art, with an abundence of talent gone into their creation!

About me:
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Freelance illustrator partial to writing. You can find my web site over here.

I work from my own home studio and often do a little part time work to help make ends meet. The handful of images found below are based on illustration commissions with which I get involved. I steer clear of 'fine art', concentrating instead on mainstream commercial art and design. Done architectural illustration, newspaper artwork, promotional design and greeting card design. The main areas I'd prefer to work in are interior book and magazine illustration, using a distinctive B&W style. I'm always on the look out for interesting opportunities, so if you're after a similar look, or know someone who does, get in touch!


(There could be a pause while the flash slideshow below loads into view...)

I also enjoy writing thriller novels and short stories, some of which can be found below. These shorts are an example of style and are taken from one of my evolving series - Still Water - a picturesque UK, east coast town, home to lost souls, misunderstood individuals, rouges, murderers and the demented. More details about these short stories and connected novels are found in the guide, which will be updated often:

'The Forlorn Widow'
'Here In My Car'

Hi Wayne. It was good to hear from you. Hmmm, on the WOW front. I leveled my hunter to 80 and have been trying to gear her out by running dungeons, etc. She also spends a lot of time fishing, cooking, mining and collecting herbs (all her methods of earning a living, lol).

Yes, 'twas a grand celebration: we hiked all day Sunday in light snowfall. The 'flakes' were anything but, having been wind-buffeted into teensy rounds, yet remaining well below the point of hail. As the day progressed, and these micro-snowballs piled up, the forest floor gained a Muppet-like texture. Such a fun thing, snow. (Forrest Gump, had he seen it, might have said, "Life is like a snowfall: you never know what you're gonna get.")
