Biography

After training as an illustrator and print maker my formative years were spent working freelance for television companies, publishers and ad agencies. During this time I created animated artwork for the Title Sequence of the much loved series ‘Grange Hill’ and also for the drama series 'Pennies From Heaven' by Dennis Potter, amongst many others.

After working in TV Graphics and Animation, accumulating many awards along the way, I returned to my roots in 2003 and founded Eyedreampictures, an online gallery, to showcase my new artwork. I decided to use various pseudonyms to showcase my wide variety work. These include Diablo, HenryG and Pure Gold. My work includes Alternative, Outsider and Urban Art with social, political themes and ironic references to mainstream entertainment.

In 2011 I moved to Pokesdown, Bournemouth and found a vibrant artist's community in Boscombe where I now run a small art gallery in the Royal Arcade.

Recently I’ve created three dimensional artwork under the title ‘Trigger Happy’. Based on Fair Ground art, it’s created to look like panels from fairground rides, cut and riveted together then textured, distressed and hand finished. Each one being unique in this respect.

I’ve also returned to painting creating a locally themed children’s mural that includes text in the form of quotes and snippets of information relating to various images and aspects within the picture. My plan is to continue painting this year.

I also run a small gallery, EYEDREAMPICTURES, in the Royal Arcade, Boscombe, Bournemouth BH1 4BT where my own work and work by local artists is showcased.
