With any story ....a begining.....for me it started late in 1988 when I decided to take my work into a new direction .

Following nineteen years of photography covering Portraits , Weddings  and General Advertising work , I moved into the UK Toy Industry and Children's Comics .

This new direction for me over the next thirty years would use my creative talents and imagination across many areas of the Toy Industry , Children's Publishing Projects and across the web .
