Hi. Although I write verse from time to time, my main involvement in the arts is in the field of drawing, having worked (among many other jobs) as a freelance illustrator. I hold to the importance of drawing directly from life and, for some15 years, have run the weekly drop-in Life Drawing workshop here in Essex.
If you're interested, you can see some of my figure and scenic drawings at:
As to poetry, there's some stuff I want to say about that, but I need to work out how to say it clearly and I'll have to come back to that shortly.
So - here's to all poets, past, present and (fingers crossed) future. Cheers!
Meanwhile, here's some for the road............(i.e. my poems)

Purrsanthema on July 29Your drawings are magnificent, and I admire your political activism trying to save something ceded "forever" by Queen Victoria. I'm also an artist.

Cupcrazy on October 4, 2008I have just visited your drawings and I must say they were amazing, I loved The Irish Girl's Lament, both the painting and the poem. I think I'd like to write a piece for that painting as well. Thanks for the inspiration. Incredible work! Hugs, Bunny
