This artist has some pretty interesting work, and he has quite a lot of it! One thing I find really unique is the way he uses colouring book pages as a base for his collages, such a smart idea and very inspiring. I found it hard to choose favourites!

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Never ending urge to express/heal/expand myself.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: I have two specific areas. One is ‘cut & paste’ paper works. The other is my digital collages and photography. Sometimes, I mix both of them.

For cut & paste I use:
- newspapers & magazines
- free leaflets
- found items (playing cards, tickets, torn bits of posters etc.)
- old ‘for sale’ library books
- comics

For digital imagining my sources are:
- my street photographs
- my photographs of various ‘objects’ I may come across or just shots of images instead of scanning: this could be books, magazines, newspapers. I recently was in a public library, where they had full annuals of 19th century periodicals. I went with my camera through quite a few pages.
- any image out there on the Internet.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: I was creating cut and paste images for more than 30 years. It was all prompted by a need to release my frustration at being lonely and misunderstood and by the need to ESCAPE the reality.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I work in another profession, which occasionally feeds my art as well.
