Hi to eveyone,

I'm Adam and I have been an artist for pretty much all my life. I started drawing from the age of 6 months, when my mum, who used to draw lots of charcoal drawings, placed a crayon in my hand and watched me create, since then I have not stopped, drawing everyday.

In 1983 I met Tony (pucky), who lived just round the corner (later I found out we were both born in Truro, Cornwall, a year and two months apart and both ended up in Yeovil, Somerset), and together we started drawing cartoons and he introduced me to 2000ad, Marvel and DC comics. Since then we have been creating comic strips, working on individual projects, until in 1987 we created 'underGROUND' magazine (a collected book out in OCT - 20th Anniversary).

We began these magazines, using cut and paste and photocopying, as this was before the days of computers, and I used to sell these through comics international, fear magazine and various other mags. We were even touted as 'ones to watch', which was nice to receive back then.

As the years developed we moved onto other projects, including myself going on to follow a fine art course in 1991-1996 gaining a degree, this allowing me to utilise and learn alot about art and using computers too.

Then in 1998 Tony and I began to create and formulise a comic called 'cosmogenesis: The Chronicles of Quongo'. From 2001 - 2006, we published these as a six book series, encompassing 530 pages. Since then we have been creating other stories which are available through www.clownpress.co.uk.

Currently I am working on a book called 'The Prison', one page soapbox ramblings which I am wrting and drawing.

Pheonix will now be written and drawn by Adam.

Other developments included a horror story graphic novel 'Lazarus' by myself and a Detective story which I am wrting up at the moment, currently on chapter six of twelve chapters. More details soon.

I always look at other peoples artwork as I am always on the look out for artists to collaborate with, as I write lots of stories and so I can only draw so much - so I will be looking at your art if you're an artist, I am also always interested in illustrating other writers work too.

I hope you like looking at my work and all the fine art paintings are for sale, so if you like any of them, check out either ebay and type my name in, as they go on there or you can always make me an offer.

All our books are for sale, and as you will see a collected 'cosmo' is on it's way, but I still have the individual books if you fancy buying them separately, but these are now very limited and slightly different from the collected... so a collecteor's item they might become...

I will update regularly here as well as at my own website, which goes through changes every few months of so.
