Brilliant work, Just looking through your gallery the brush work is so efficient. I'm putting a portfolio together to send off to FX departments for film companies and was wondering if you had any advice. Where did you start? and who would be the best sort of people to send them to.
You are most welcome Steve. I have ideas, but when it comes to execution-I flop. I end up with a space yo yo or some kind of cooking device on planet nine pop art. Maybe I need to stick with kids in costumes or my imaginary tripping floral surprises.
Well, a lot of people put all their focus on execution, but they don't have too many ideas. If you're motivated to do something because you've got an idea, that means something! The hardest thing to learn - for me at least - was to kind of let go and "use the Force" (I was very uptight in an earlier time). Once I managed to do that, to my surprise - everything started to look much nicer.

I would say it's all a matter of practice - or maybe sheer stubbornness!
