Where do you get your ideas from?
Sometimes I see a tree, or window in a church, or something when out walking my dog, or the way the light falls on an object and this gives me an idea. I like to carry my small pocket digital camera around with me as it is great for snapping reference photos. Also I always have scrap of paper to hand for sketching ideas down on. For example below left is an unusual tree I saw while out walking my dog in woodland. The branches crossed over and looked to me like part of a star shape. From this I got the idea of doing my forest pentagram dragon, where the branches form a magical star shape that has attracted the attention of a small forest dwelling dragon. Maybe my brain works in an unusual way but when I looked at this tree I just saw the picture!
你从哪里得到你的绘画的灵感？
有时我看到一棵树，或一个教堂的窗户，或是什么时候溜我的狗，或道路上的光落在一个对象上，这就会给我一个想法。我喜欢随身携带我的袖珍数码相机，因为它是伟大的拍摄参考照片。我也总是会有一张纸，用手把草图画下来。下面是一个不寻常的树，我看到，而我的狗在林地散步。光从树枝掠过，我看过去，像一个星星形状的一部分。这里便有了我的森林五角星龙的想法，那里的树枝形成一个神奇的星的形状，吸引了一个小森林居住的龙的注意。也许我的大脑在一个不寻常的方式工作，但当我看了这棵树，我只看到了脑海里面成型的图片
