While my Music/Art videos don't use my paintings and drawings, I have used a number in my CD cover art.

These are drawn from 1973 to about 2000.

While I progressed as a composer, I found that my visual art had become obsessed with depression, becoming ever more futile.

It was around this time that I began to gradually change to photography - not so much as art, even though that did happen, but more to capture the world around me.
