Bankseta Team Building DVD

A DVD I was asked to do by a company called "Institute of Bankers". I was presented with a certain amount of photographs taken over a period of a few weeks from Team Building weekends/conferences that were held in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban sponsored by a company called Bankseta. I was asked to put them all together in DVD format with a fast, energetic vibe that wasn't to be longer than 5 minutes. This is what I produced and it was well accepted...

The Quality of the DVD has been reduced for website purposes.

My Oil Paintings

After drawing for a good few years I decided to attempt my ability to paint in oils...

Below are the only three oil paintings I've done, the lower two being copies of other artists works, while the top one (Beach scene) is my own origional done on a 1.5M x 1M Canvass recently. Personally it is a lot more frustrating to paint than it is to draw, as the majority of the time one is spending mixing paints to get the desired colours, and then it only takes a minute or two to apply it.

Although I'm getting the hang of it...I guess practice makes perfect.

My Pencil Sketches

I am a passionate Pencil Artist that has been drawing for over 25 years. The process of turning the surface of a blank sheet of paper into an illusion that the viewer considers impressive and real simultaneously is what both fascinates and drives me forward. Drawing gives me the opportunity to delve deeply into my subject. As an artist, I observe my surroundings as a creator and architect of my own artistic vision. I have never been interested in simplification - on the contrary it’s the detail, contrast, expression and reflection that drives me to spend countless hours on a drawing.

Below are some examples
