Realistic graphite artist drawing Australian wildlife in pencil For me, the greatest buzz comes from collecting discarded bits of timber that most would consider rubbish, broken doors and old furniture etc. Then, using traditional woodworking methods turn it into a treasured heirloom piece. With this and to enhance its uniqueness, a fine marquetry inlay is added. From my perspective as a fine wood

artisan, this is the very least that I can do for the planet and the next generation. I believe that there is no other wildlife more in need of our attention than the unique and varied Australian fauna. Which is why it's my primary topic and motivation in both marquetry and the humble graphite pencil. As an artist and a naturalist, it is a joy to bring to life on paper or timber any of Australia's wild creatures and on occasions, the not so wild. So it is my hope that these photorealistic drawings and fine marquetry works will in some small way heighten the awareness of these wonderful creatures and, just as importantly, the unique natural systems they inhabit.

Looking back I decided to do a collage of some box tops and discovered that I have indeed been busy. There is enough to put together another 2 of these. Here I was thinking I wasn't getting much done!
