"My wife and I walked past this house often and then saw it up for sale. We'd always admired it, partly because of its size, privacy and history, but for me I always loved the look of the outside studio, which had a twisty staircase on the exterior of the house leading up to it. At the time it was being rented as a studio apartment, before that it was an Airbnb, and even earlier was used as a full-size snooker room."
"My aim was for it to be a very functional working studio with separate areas for the various mediums. I divided it into a drawing area, a digital area, a painting area, and an area for cutting, packaging and so on. I also have a small library featuring functional books such as anatomy, workshop technique and reference. My drawing area is where I do the majority of pencilling and inking,"
The studio occupies an exterior building reached by a twisty staircase and previously served as a studio apartment, Airbnb and full-size snooker room. The space was planned to be highly functional with distinct zones for drawing, digital work, painting, and cutting/packaging. A small library holds practical reference books on anatomy and workshop technique. The drawing area contains an Admel draughting board that can tilt upright and a daylight lamp to support pencilling and inking during tight deadlines. Digital work runs on a 64GB Apple Mac Studio M2 Max used to operate Photoshop and Corel Painter, while traditional methods remain central.
