Times are very hard

Times are hard and lately its been at its peek. deciding where to take my work and my career. Ive been drawing and sketching an awful lot lately but i really need experience in the field of illustration but i cant work for free and make a living. especialy as ive been to university for 3 years worked very hard and had good results. frustrating is the word. but im going to keep going even if it makes me ill.

Welcome to Gaz's blog page

Hi everyone! well first things first, i am a student at Lincoln University studying Illustration and i am currently finishing my 3rd year. Its had its ups and downs but i've managed to enjoy my time as a student, and hopefully it will help hone my ambition to becoming a full fledged illustrator.

My life and works have been influenced by many things that seem to catch my eye and i cant really say exactlly what it is that influences my work but i see this a a positive as id like to thing it keeps my work looking original and fresh.


For now i will leave you with these comments and please take the time to look at my work.


Regards Gaz
