He prefers drawing freehand, as it helps him capture the motion and energy of his subjects.

He has displayed his work in galleries across the UK and sold pieces to art collectors internationally. He also received a New Blood Award from D&AD in 2009 and the Larson Juhl Award from the Society of Wildlife Artists.
