My site contains various artworks created over the years and spans a period of 40 years from a student at Falmouth School of Art to working as Special Effects Supervisor on feature films.

The site includes watercolours, wood and stone carving, Cyanotype and Bi Chromate photography, documentary videos of individuals, and more recently - some snippets of the film 'Alien' where I worked as a Special Effects Technician helping build and film the Nostromo space sequences. It's also about time I put up a page about ARKADON MOTION CONTROL that was formed early 80's and survived using gaffer tape and technology in the classic film style!
Recent additions to the site include some pages that refer to continuity stills that were found in Charlie Staffel's old workshop at Pinewood Studios that date back to the 50's and 60's.

Below is a quick selection of the various films I've been making this over the years.
