I have completed over 30 drawings and some paintings of Steven Berkoff - actor/ theatre director
Some have been about movement and energy in acrylics and charcoal on card
There have been some from life - but that was not the answer to a person who is about gesturing and expressing.

I work largely from the video, which allows as much time as necessary to
study what it is about them, their manner and movement that interests me
There is something intriguing about
Will Self - his novels and short stories, as well as at interview
These people are a particular selection, some known, but only in particular
circles. I choose them from stage and tv interview largely because
that is what I like to watch, it is how I become interested in the first
place, and it is available to work from over a time period. Theye are
people in the arts who are powerful within their own medium. They
are all disturbing people.
Harold Pinter actor and playwright was one of the first
people I became hooked on long after studying his plays at school - I
became interested in the uncomfortable man in the rare interviews he gave
and how that related to his work
Pinter bought one of the Pinter drawings
