Extreme sports are activities that offer adrenaline rushes to the participant. mistakes in these sports are costly.

This composition is part of a series inspired by a trip to india. The health and safety out there is a little more relaxed than on British shores, in-fact 5 people on a motorbike or coconut tree climbing was something of a common occurrence.

With elephant riders, hassle and hustle,  drum sellers,  coloured faces,  jewels,  clothes and particularly lanterns i noticed, one can quickly overwhelmed.

Goa has a literacy rate of 87%, with 90% of males and 84% of females able to read!

Fishermen are people who by profession catch and sell wild fish.  66 % percent of these people say they prefer bare feet, and 72% of Goan fishermen don't know how to swim.

"i did not fully understand the dread term "terminal illness" until i saw Heathrow for myself ~ Dennis Potter 

These compositions are pieced together from the work in my sketch books  (that accompany me everywhere).  In the scene above,  based on the observations at gatwick terminal,  i made sure i maintain the spontaneous quality of the line that was so inherent when these drawings were originally made.

Work documenting the journey to india helped inform my more final and organised compositions in the slides above.
