Born in the north of England when life was in black and white and people were in fancy dress, I was lured down south by the bright lights of London and the promise of up-to-date fashions.

About

Born in the north of England when life was in black and white and people were in fancy dress, I was lured down south by the bright lights of London and the promise of up-to-date fashions.

A BA (Hons) in Graphic Design and Illustration, from Kingston Polytechnic, propelled me into the crazy world of commercials and pop videos as a Designer/Animator, after which I hopped daintily into feature film work at Richard Williams Studios.

Craving the wild, I chose life as a freerange Animation Director and Illustrator, along with a stint as a lecturer in Moving Image at Kingston University.
I continue to make charming animation and illustrations for charming and attractive people. Also a Co-Director of Mo Choy Design (for all your design needs!), I reside in the London area with my wife and 2 chatty Siamese cats.

I make sourdough bread. You should too!

I am a member of the assiciation of Illustrators.
