Where do I start???
I was an Art teacher, then ICT teacher for 34 years.
During that, I illustrated quite a few children's books and some science text books.
I was a signwriter for the JPS F1 team back in the 80's and went to countless races as part of the team.
Also did all the signwriting for the JPS F1 Tunnel boat team and became good friends with Bob Spalding until he died following a horrific powerboat accident.
Did the signwriting on many of the Transatlantic catamarans - Fleury Michon, Le Jaby Rasurel to name two.
Did all the gilding work on the throne for the Sultan of Bruneii back in the early '80's.
Did some animation work for the BBC on a film that never saw release - The Enchanted Sword.
I kept a lot of the artwork!
Illustrated loads of car calendars in the '90's, and wrote/illustrated some children's books.
In 2006 I had my first fantasy novel published - 'Worter on the Water'. A humorous tale.

I'm currently writing part 2.
I also co-wrote 'Shadowland - The Legend' - which is now a movie.
I'm contracted to novellise the next three films.

During all this time I've been a semi-pro guitarist and did session work with some 'names'.
A good few tunes out there have my guitar solo's on them.
Been on Top of the Pops twice.
I still work (occasionally now) as a cabaret tribute act/guitarist covering The Shadows, Gary Moore, Dave Edmunds, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits etc.......
I run a small Garden Railway business and design'produce all my own kits etc.
Currently building 1/8 model cars for a known company.
PHEW........ I consider myself lucky. I was one of those people 'In the right place at the right time'....
There still aren't enough hours in the day.
Currently working on developing a new DECENT 1/8 kit of the E Type Jaguar.
More on that soon - hopefully.
