Depictions of fantasy bars, chaotic street scenes, exotic dancing, strange circus, dark vampires

The artist has spent many years travelling to many different countries
drawing on the street then painting in his studio.
Most of his time has been spent back stage at festivals, parties or
alternative theme events and happenings.
Images of fancy dress bars, lobsters serving animals in lingerie,
bizarre inventions romping past musical parades,
menageries of clowns frozen in action, like a theatrical cartoon zoo
on the loose.
