Creative Process

It all starts with a nice sunny day, a pair of muddy boots and a camera!

Adventure

The walking boots go on and I journey into nature where the bugs hang out.

Inspiration

I spot an interesting bug and follow it around.

Sometimes they get away but when the moment is right, it’s magical!

Focus

I capture the bugs using an Olympus DSLR with a zoom lens.

My blog shows the latest shots from my Instagram feed.

Technique

I like to keep my drawing technique simple. I draw with a fibre pen and add colour with watercolour pencils. Everything gets committed to the art first time around. No pencil. No eraser. I accept every pen stroke as part of the artwork.
