I was born in 1973 and at primary school another parent told my mother that the king fisher bird or the malard i had drawn by pencil and had collared in in pencil were of such a high standard that she tort an adult artist had done them. after that moment any art materials were not allowed to me by my mother as she did not wont me to be any better than she was . i think she has Munchhausen syndrome because she personally made me ill so she got the attention are it must be so hard for you from other parents.i have Astmah and was highly allergic to dogs . we had 4 dogs so i was at first injected at age 18 months old with steroids then was illegally given over the next 20 years. illnesses i got from 20 years oftaking predisione steroids for the time that i lived with my parents, at age 9 i nearly died from type 1 diabetes . brital bones/osteoporosis as my bones would just snap & nerve damage & laser eye surgery in each eye then year later 2 lot laser eye surgery in each . how i have been told that my adeanal glands and proturty gland are no longer functioning due to steroids, my farther hid my figures i had made as a young teenager.but i looked after him for the last 2 years of his life as he had dementia/altimeters i have been waiting for my right shoulder to be operated on since 2013 ,but my blood sugar was to high so the 10 days i spent in hospital 2017 sorted changing one of my insulin types over so i do 5 injections a day and have to have a bag of morphine and lots of other drugs to keep me going. By chance the hospital found out about me having Addison's Diseas . back to art my grandmother loved me very much so she was my savior in the HB pencils collaring pencils i would like to draw cartoon style from the television and at that time the princes Diana Spencer was getting married to the prince of wales so i drew them. At the end of my primary school years we had to do a project on the second world war ,i asked Ivey Legg my grandmother about the war and also drew Winston Churchill & Adolf Hitler & Lennin or the USSR leader at that time. I loved taking things apart to see haw they worked much to the moans i got from my mother. at the age or 15 i got into making rustic wooden furniture as well as free standing bird feeders with little bird house up below the part were you would put the food. at age 16 i bought a second hand 50cc motorcycle with the money i had made from selling items above. my granny died when i was nearly 17 ,that devastated me i made her fences from palet bords & 1/4 size wooden wheel brows,since her death i found that i would like to restore classic cars. my uncle one of the people who 20 years later would evict me from my home and workshop,had 2 morris travelors cars both were over 3 years put into one car that is haw i got into welding and spraying i sold it to my dad for a thousand pounds taking a 3 thousand pound loss as by the time i had finished it the money had dropped on the market . my workshop was robbed all my tools gon .no insurance. so to regain some of my tools i accepted a job in a dry dock in medway kent to work for a new welder and a few other tools i would stay on the 52 foot steel boat i was welding up. after a few more antique cars and i sawpped a welding job for some tree surgens for a 1966 Bedford RL air-force lorry 6 liter petrol.it only had 6 thousand miles as it was used to pull air craft out from hangers,a bit of minor body work and a spray job it was great fun taking it off road as there was brabley thick waist ground next to the M11 and my road had a bridge going over it but it was very expensive to run . so this is the part leading up to me teaching my self to become a blacksmith i got a job for 3 weeks at the[ red house] closed for 20 years. In spitalfields market the pay was enough to buy a train ticket there and one back and eat lunch and by some thing for dinner,but i lernt haw to hammer the ritham ,haw to point bar as to turn it into finiuals & saw the water cooled forge. so after i returned to my workshop built a water cooled forge with a hover to blow the coke with a verible risister to lower the blowing action of the rewired hovers, i was creating bespoke furniture some of which i still have beds all forged out of the coke and my right hand side as the hammer .i on some occasions would work for Romford forge who never had a workshop they just took orders and got other forges or just steel fabricators to build then Romford forge put 100 percent mark up on by welding the railings and gates to the posts they had put in. Abstract acrylic painting is what i would do some times when i had some time when i was not being payed, one time over a 9 month period i built a 20 foot tall sculptor of a horse's body with a man' torso with arms & hands and a giant Alsatians dogs head but the ears turned into horns ,that went on exhibition to the William Morris centenary in his house in Waltamstow & a few years later to another exhibition in Brentwoodin 2008 my mother evicted me throw the courts i fought her for 3 years she said i had only been at the plot of land for 3 years i had affidavits from many people and steel recites to state that i had been there for 20= years i built my house there over 5 years and my big workshop,then a fellow artist gave me some oil paints ,i think that saved my life so i have been painting in oils on canvas since 2008 each time i paint 6 or 8 or12 hours have gone i love it oils as i have time to develop the image over time no abstract paintings only figurative paintings some as detailed as a photo graph
