This otter, poking around on some abstract beach somewhere, is one of my favourites of my most recent stuff. The pastel colours are lovely and the whole splashy-crashy, washed-around scene works so nicely

Artwork using urban decay of the mousedeer, also called the chevrotain, a tiny, dainty, nervous little forest animal from south-east Asia.

A subtle one today. The splashing chaos of this waterfall almost veiled the little kingfisher sitting quietly on its rock with a fish in its mouth. It's so still I guess it froze when I appeared and it's

I live in a paddy-field landscape where the fields are periodically flooded during the rice-growing cycle. One of my favourite memories of the area was the first time I saw this happen in the field

So much of what I see in our weathered urban surfaces has the feel of the coast. Wild waves battering rocks and foamy pools full of promise. I am not sure why this is...

Have you ever walked passed an old corrugated metal fence and felt a fluttering running through the worn paintwork? I hadn't until a week or so ago. If I strained very hard I could perhaps...

Another visit to my favourite fence. Its ugliness is perhaps what stops the wildlife within from being seen and hence disturbed more often. But the animal I saw today was in no way disturbed

Strolling along a back-street in our local town I became aware that I was being watched. On the opposite side of the road was an old corrugated metal fence in poor condition...

Crop: In full: Silhouetted against a sky with the texture of crumbled paint flecked with rust stood the distinct shape of an ibis. Whether black-headed or glossy I could not tell against the bright early

This is the final set of five wildlife artworks created from macro photographs of the same old metal gate. The weathered paintwork on this gate has served me well, with 20 artworks created from less than

Another set of five wildlife artworks that I created from macro photographs of the same old metal gate. That makes it 15 images from one gate with another five still to come. When I take the close-up

Five more artworks that were all created from macro photographs of the same old metal gate. It is a painted gate in front of a private house where the original paint, graffiti, and more paint to cover

We have some fantastic fruit in our garden here in Thailand. Not only does it taste great, it also looks pretty cool. I'm not sure who started the fashion but I suspect the jackfruit...

After rainless months a heavy afternoon shower meant that the evening would be thick with flying termites. Despite the running around to close windows and turn off lights to keep them out of the house,

One of my own artworks-from-urban-decay called "Starling Fight" as an entry to this week's SMaP contest. Over the years I have developed this style of art where I take macro photographs of weathered

My favourite garden tree was dying but its replacement turned out to be incredibly attractive to a vast array of butterflies.

Many people probably take for granted a clean and naturally-thriving coastline but I am far more familiar with an over-used and littered shoreline. So a recent trip to south-west Ireland was a joy

Down in the south-west corner of Ireland lies a stunning land of fabulous peninsulas jutting out into the Atlantic ocean...

There is some great street art around these days. This isn't it. This is old-style name tagging with a few vulgar, angry words thrown in. However, close-up there is still great beauty to be found...
