One of the best parts of any exhibition or open studio is the opportunity to talk with fellow travellers and listen to their experiences of locations from all around the world. Whether it’s for work, holiday or exploration; everyone has their own favourite places and unique tales.
These posts contain plenty of destinations i’ve been lucky enough to see for myself. It also works as a wish list for many paths i’ve yet to tread. I hope to share my world series illustrations, travel sketchbooks and perhaps a few travelogs… featuring brave adventurers who have already ventured forth!
No.34 – Machu Picchu, Peru
Next on the world series trail we travel down to South America and the much requested destination of Machu Picchu! The 15th-century Inca citadel located on a 7,970 ft mountain ridge in Southern Peru. The Urubamba River flows past, cutting ...
No.33 – Dubrovnik, Croatia
I'm back on the World Series trail with a new colour study on acrylic paper. 'Dubrovnik, Croatia' is a city on the Adriatic Sea in the region of Dalmatia, in the southeastern semi-exclave of Croatia. It is ...
No. 32 – Pagoda With a View

No. 31 – Osaka Castle in Winter (Taisetsu 大雪) Big Snow

No. 29 – Jerusalem
A lovely scene to share with you this week, featuring a completely new subject for me and a very different style of cityscape. This painting 'Jerusalem' was actually commissioned as a gift, but the illustration also sits beautifully with my World ...
No. 28 – Nyhavn Copenhagen
A new World Series image to share with you as I catch up on a busy couple of months! Nyhavn (New Harbour) is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. Stretching from Kongens ...
No. 27 – Lofoten Islands, Norway
I'm finally back on the World Series trail! although I wont be posting in this series quite as often as last year, i'm certainly hoping to build on those initial 26 paintings and create a larger collection of views from fascinating locations ...
World Series Paused
Just jumping on the blog (which has been sadly neglected since the Summer open event) to write a quick studio update. I'm weathering a crazy few weeks in the studio, there's so much going on. In particular i'm trying to make my way through a ...

Krabi is one of the southern provinces (changwat) of Thailand East of Phuket across Phang Nga Bay. The province is on the Strait of Malacca and is noted for its natural beauty. There are solitary limestone peaks, both on land and in ...
