Dear John
Thank you for your great response to my new website. There are some
things still to be added but it all takes a lot of time.
I advised students that to concentrate on what ones good at (and not
worry about what one isnt), do what gives you pleasure in the doing,
make what you want to see yourself, make everything you do be the most
it can be, persist.
best wishes
Michael

Five horsemen running amid a green landscape with dark clouds waving their swords and whooping in the wind
Shape, colour and the image are central to what I love about the creative process, how all of that comes together with any number of infinite results, it's fun.
I draw these horsemen because I'm stuck on them as a subject. First they were shapes, and now they are starting to become something, an image slowly emerging from basicness into work I can call my own. Ride on across the green land, you whooping horsemen!
