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 two years would use my creative talents and imagination across many areas of the Toy Industry , Children's Publishing Projects and across the web .

I have worked with many Companies over these years.....with big and small projects.....the list of the Companies and the Products are endless...many I don't remember now they were extremely busy times.......but here are some of them.....Kenner Toys - Bluebird Toys - Hasbro Toys - Mattel Toys - Marvel Comics - Panini Comics - Titan Comics - MGA Toys USA  - Toontastic Comics - Cartoon Network Comic - Warner Bros Looney Toons - GEMMA Cards - Pedigree Books  and many more......some of the best products in the Toy Business have passed through my studios over the years .

ACTION MAN - THE BRATZ - MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE - GI JOE ACTION FORCE - LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER - TRANSFORMERS - BUTT UGLY MARTIANS - POWER RANGERS - QUAKE 2 - MASK - MEGA FORCE - MANTA FORCE - MIGHTY MAX - BETTY SPAGHETTI - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - SPIDERMAN - DIGIMON - and my own Photo-Story productions have now been released to join them on the web....SEASTAR 5 - SINBAD GOLD RAIDER HEROES - STARJET RANGERS 2400AD.........

I am currently at work on a new British Sci-Fi feature film called "Of Infinite Worlds" over the next few months and into 2021 on the design and build of a number of studio sized model miniatures for the production .

My own production of Sinbad Gold Raider Heroes will soon have the story text added to the images on this web site and the book version of the story will be released on a limited sale in early 2021 .

The next photo story series "STARJET RANGERS 2400AD" has started production and more images will be appearing on the web site over the coming months.....

I hope you enjoy looking through my work.......
