About Me
I am a commercial graphic artist and illustrator with a desire to take up traditional iconography. Pope John Paul II's Letter to Artists has been a significant influence in this process. Rublev's Trinity icon was the other major influence. I'm interested in sharing with other Catholic illustrators views, ideas, techniques etc. I have also worked as a Lighting Technical Director for a Christian CG animation company. My other interests are philosophy and theology, guitar playing and singing tenor in an early music choir. Married to Alison with 1 son Thomas (named after Aquinas). Pax Christi.
