The idea of The Irrational Portrait Gallery is a personal version of the canon of influential personality. IPG displays a smaller vision of the world, both more mundane and yet more beautiful than reality. I've recently worked on the years 1965-79 including figures such as the Brazilian footballer Roberto Rivelino, Babs Lord from Pan's People plus lots of others both well known and utterly obscure.

I am what is generally known as a new wave pop folk artist. Although I'm now older than John Lennon was when he died, and Dino Zoff was when he collected a World Cup winner's medal, I like to think of myself as an emerging artist. I'm just emerging in slow motion.
