My journey as an artist began at the old Salisbury College of Art in 1980, now demolished and replaced with a car park! I'm currently working on my 2nd book, "The New Age Travellers Volume 2". When not painting I'm the proud dad of 2 Scottie Dogs ๐จ๐๏ธ๐พ

A flyer I designed for the free party held at Pepperbox Hill in August 1990. The government called them "illegal raves" but we called them Free Parties. The DJ collective known as DiY came down from Nottingham and along with our local Salisbury DJs the music went on through the night!
Looking amazing already!
Beautiful and serene!
Amazing art!

A big spliff can make it even more hypnotic!
Loving these portraits Tash!
Thank you very much!
Wow!
That is totally awesome!
Thank you very much Michael ๐
Ha ha, brilliant!
Wow! ๐คฉ๐
Amazing!
Wow, that's beautiful. Yeah, I reckon developing the "Urban Beauty" series would be a terrific thing to do. It's so unique, I've never seen anyone else doing anything like it!
There are some weirdos on these sites! What daft questions!
Awesome!
I like it! It does sort of remind me of the work of Lawren Harris, one of the Canadian artists that made up the Group of Seven.
Cheers Jules! I'd forgotten how you can only layer them so much, before the surface goes all shiny and no more can be applied over the top. I am thrilled about how it's turned out though, and am planning on using these pencils as often as I can moving forward.
Cheers Rob! I loved this bus, I'd visit Bob and sit in here dreaming of having a bus of my own. It very sadly burnt down in mysterious circumstances in 1985.
I haven't used coloured pencils for a very long time so am excited about this new drawing, "Bob Dodd's Bus at The Triangle". #art #traditionalart #fineart #coloredpencils #colouredpencils #luminance #polychromos #hippies #newagetravellers #peaceconvoy #stonehenge #thenewagetravellersbookvol2
Northern Spain? Are you sure?
Thank you!
Than you very much! ๐
