‘Racing Lines: Le Tour’ teams, riders and racing…
Hello! It’s been an enjoyable process selecting work for ‘Racing Lines: Le Tour’, I find that the pictures remind me of the races quite vividly – just as photos do. This week’s preview highlights some of the racing itself, the teams, the time trials, the sprint for the line and the long and winding peloton. Have a great weekend, here are my drawings:

I work ‘live’ as it happens. It’s the challenge of capturing the action as it happens that I love 😀

What an awesome post!
I have to ask, any chance you could do one from a video clip, of me, for my office?

Thanks very much! Glad you like the post.It’s a great idea to try a picture of you from a video clip. Could you send the clip to me directly by email or dropbox link to have a look? I’ll be able to give you an answer properly then. I look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Hi someone else asked so might I follow up? Ignore me if you want. Do you work live in the field or from the television as it happens? I can’t imagine the mechanics of doing this in the field so guess it must be from the telly, but I’ve always wanted to know.

Yes, it’s from the TV, it’s impossible to see the views I draw from the crowds’ position at the sides. I’m short as well so even more of a challenge for me to see! I draw as the action happens and throw a lot away! I do record so I can play back but it’s never quite the same as working ‘live’ somehow. I’m always happy to answer questions, thank you for getting in touch, much appreciated!

That makes sense.
If I can get to the Kettering exhibition somehow, I will. I would like to see your work in the flesh as it were.
