Here, unsurprisingly, you'll find a bit of information about me!
Obsessed, ambitious, or just plain crazy?
I first started collecting Warhammer 40,000 way back in the days of 2nd edition - back then I had Orks, Ultramarines and Eldar. Like a lot of kids, I had a lot of free time but not a lot of money, so eventually I stopped collecting but kept an eye on how things were changing in the worlds of Games Workshop every now and then.
Once I'd grown up a bit, graduated from university and got a job in IT (and was looking for something to take my mind off it), I decided to pick up a copy of White Dwarf. This happened to be the issue that concentrated on the launch of the new Eldar range for 4th edition - I was astounded by the quality of the new kits and the incredible design work by Jes Goodwin. After that it was inevitable that I would start collecting again!
Having been sucked back into the fascinating and rich world of Warhammer 40,000, I decided to concentrate on just one army and to put together my collection to the best of my ability. That meant loads of conversions and ambitious projects (some might argue that I have perhaps a few too many projects on at any given time). Now that I'm in the real world I'm of course finding that I have money but no free time, so my collection is growing faster than I can paint it! I've also bent my own rule a little bit by branching out into the other Eldar factions...
I currently live in the UK in Leicestershire with my wife Sarah and our mischievous but adorable dog Sasha, accepting commissions as a freelance illustrator/artist. If you would like to see examples of my work and my other creative interests, please visit my main site. If you'd like to get in touch with me or commission some work, please send me an email.
