Studio

Here is a little about what, how, and why I do what I do. You will find selected sketches, photos, studies, drawings, my process, and some thoughts. These Studio posts are also works in progress and ongoing projects and will be updated when progressed, and of course, new posts will be added along my journey. There is also a little Photogallery here to look at Enjoy!
