Art & Engineering
I started my career as an engineer with I.C.I. in Fleetwood. I completed my apprenticeship, but I was fascinated by the custom paint scene of that era and bought my first DeVILBISS airbrush. I taught myself how to use it and eventually went back to college and studied to get a HND in Technical & Scientific Illustration. I still have a passion for automotive art and engineering. These projects are all total nut and bolt restorations that I have completed over the last 7 years.
