So I've got this book out 'Psychedelic Paperchase' featuring Steven Picard, you can buy it online. I also have quite a colourful portfolio of art featuring Naive Landscapes, abstracts, quirky drawings, mix media collages and all sorts...

The painting I'm currently working on, the main theme is Narcotics, there's a guy relaxing in a bath tub in the middle, references to Big Brother society with loads of Camera's dotted around the scene, and its going to be pretty Psychedelic, colourful with a Disco floor

Some small paintings I've done over the last year or so, one inspired by an Eric Ravilious, an exercise piece I did over the course of the evening Channel 4 news, ones half finished on purpose because I didn't want to spoil the textured background, and one I reworked painted over

When I got the idea for this Mega Social media website 'The Rainbow Post' https://t.co/RWt0g0ClON I was doing this large painting and was quite amazed, I really believed in it and wanted the world to know I had this great idea, got it copyrighted, tried for a bit but no regrets.

These are scanned A4 collages that I've steadily been developing since I was at university 2004. This year I actually attempted to finish the whole collection, about 200, and I've stopped with about 30 to go, but I'll probably get them finished one day https://t.co/WcTNoXSmzH

The photoshop of the black hole was inspired by a quote in the film 'Wall street' I'd also been taking photos of the film off the TV screen, over layered it with some of my Myspace photoshop images, and then later I made the painting which also changed several times

This A1 drawing, I'd done a similar smaller one before and always looked at it and thought I must do another one which actually features an Ant in the spiralling black and white blob in the middle, so this was it...

One of these drawings is of Oedipus circling the Sphinx's tower of Women, one features some minions, two didn't feature in my book through fear of copyright infringement and ones a dressed up as a Wizard

I planned to do more of these, Tyson Fury, Das Efx, Keith Murray, Hippocrates, Mass Effect's Tech guy, Annie Lennox and loads of others. Of all the mediums I use, I find drawings take me the longest to get done with all the details. These ones are 2pac, Catwoman, Keynes

These are A1 prints that I have worked into with oils pens and pastels. Originally small A4 collages that I've scanned into a computer and then printed larger
